current class in question
(side question - shouldnt this be some Rspec class, and not my application class?): 
ProjectsController

object ids: 
2173153800
2173197580

class names: 
"ProjectsController"
"ProjectsController"

ancestor chains:

so now this fails, which means the get fails:

1) ProjectsController is confusing
    Failure/Error: p self.class.action(:new)
    undefined method `action' for ProjectsController:Class
