I use restful authentication rather than authlogic but I imagine the principle is the same in that you need to setup the session for the test as if the user was logged in. The testing rails guide at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html has a bit on this. For example one of my tests has: get :show, {:id => some_id}, { :user_id => users(:colin).id } which sets user_id in the session to the appropriate value as if I were logged in. In fact I think there is a alternative way of setting the session in the test setup, so it does not need to be added to every action, but I forget what it is at the moment.
