typical `GET` to a controller in a controller's functional test like this:
```ruby
-get :index
+module Blorgh
+ class FooControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
+ def test_index
+ get :index
+ ...
+ end
+ end
+end
```
It may not function correctly. This is because the application doesn't know how
to route these requests to the engine unless you explicitly tell it **how**. To
-do this, you must also pass the `:use_route` option as a parameter on these
-requests:
+do this, you must set the `@routes` instance variable to the engine's route set
+in your setup code:
```ruby
-get :index, use_route: :blorgh
+module Blorgh
+ class FooControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
+ setup do
+ @routes = Engine.routes
+ end
+
+ def test_index
+ get :index
+ ...
+ end
+ end
+end
```
This tells the application that you still want to perform a `GET` request to the
`index` action of this controller, but you want to use the engine's route to get
there, rather than the application's one.
-Another way to do this is to assign the `@routes` instance variable to `Engine.routes` in your test setup:
-
-```ruby
-setup do
- @routes = Engine.routes
-end
-```
