all my functional tests are dead

[David Morton]

I admit I have been running my tests for a while... and I'm trying to get them running again.   I've been tracing this for a while and realized that it appeared that *none* of my tests appear to have permission.  They used to work, several months ago, and before I upgraded to rails 3.2.   But here's the kicker.  I introduced a syntax error into authorization_rules.rb,  and while my development mode blows up accordingly, the functional tests never notice. 

I've verified that Authorization.current_user is set properly, and the roles work - the whole app works fine in development and production.  It just seems like it is not loading authorization_rules.rb at all during functional tests.   Any ideas what could be wrong?.

I was running my tests from the tests folder, not the Rails.root.

This really is a surprising behavior.
