“Do you have to use to_param in functional tests?”

In the past you could simply provide an object in a param list in functional tests and the to_param for the object would be called to get the proper value for the parameter. This is now broken, forcing you to use object.to_param every time.

Perhaps not helpful for existing projects but I recommend you use cucumber, webrat, or even selenium rather than Rails functional tests. Rails functional tests require that you specify parameters and specify them correctly. If you get them wrong your functional tests might continue to pass for the wrong reason. Here’s another “bad params in functional tests” post.
