Testing your subdomain based rails application

I was looking for a way to set the request host when testing an application I am currently working on. It has ‘basecamp-style’ subdomains; I wanted to test these.
Insert the following snippet at the bottom of test_helper.rb to set the host to ‘test.local.host’
# This is a hack on rails to allow testing of subdomain based systems. require 'active_support/test_case' module ActionController class TestCase < ActiveSupport::TestCase def setup_controller_request_and_response @controller = self.class.controller_class.new @controller.request = @request = TestRequest.new @response = TestResponse.new @request.host = "test.local.host" @controller.params = {} @controller.send(:initialize_current_url) end end end
