Module Authorization::TestHelper
In: lib/declarative_authorization/maintenance.rb

TestHelper provides assert methods and controller request methods which take authorization into account and set the current user to a specific one.

Defines get_with, post_with, get_by_xhr_with etc. for methods get, post, put, delete each with the signature 

  get_with(user, action, params = {}, session = {}, flash = {})

Use it by including it in your TestHelper: 

 require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) +
   "/../vendor/plugins/declarative_authorization/lib/maintenance")
 class Test::Unit::TestCase
   include Authorization::TestHelper
   ...

   def admin
     # create admin user
   end
 end

 class SomeControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
   def test_should_get_index
     ...
     get_with admin, :index, :param_1 => "param value"
     ...
   end
 end
