undefined method `render_component’ with ActiveScaffold and Rails 2.3.2
Problem
When using a nested (or embedded) scaffold in ActiveScaffold with Rails 2.3.2 you have the error:
undefined method `render_component’
Solution
According to the issue here, in Rails 2.3 the render_component has been removed.
Install the render_component from:
script/plugin install git://github.com/lackac/render_component.git -r rails-edge
and restart your server, and it should be working.

Controller testing in Active Scaffold
Problem
You need to have to functionally test your controller when you are using ActiveScaffold. There are pieces of code that tell you how to do that on a normal ror application (ie without ActiveScaffold), like recipe 7.17 on the Rails Cookbook, or a fragment of code in an Active Scaffold application, but they don’t have [...]
