Accessing ancester method is fine but asking for child templ

Hello,

 I have a strange situation where I'm making a dummy class that

inherits from a parent class. it calls the parent method fine but is
asking for the child class to provide a view template.

I’m creating the dummy class for testing purposes in a functional test.

Heres basically what I’m trying:

and the error:

class ParentController < ApplicationController

    def parent_method
        #... code
    end
end

class DummyClass < ParentController
     #no child method
end

class ParentControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  fixtures :users

  def setup
    @controller = DummyController.new
    @request    = ActionController::TestRequest.new
    @response   = ActionController::TestResponse.new

  def test_parent_method
    post :parent_method
    assert_response :success
  end
end

ActionController::MissingTemplate: Missing template
…/app/views/dummy/song_search.rhtml

I’m sure it’s something obvious I’m missing but I’m just not seeing it.

Thanks for any help,
Clem
