Rails - How would I get the URL of a single image asset in the controller?

Question

I've tried including ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper and then using the image_path() method however it gives me grief:

undefined local variable or method `config' for ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper:Module

There's probably something simple I'm missing. Any ideas?

Please explain where are you including the module. – Simone Carletti May 24 '11 at 22:00 — Simone Carletti, May 24 '11 at 22:00
Oh sorry- I'm trying to do this in a controller. – digitalWestie May 29 '11 at 12:13 — digitalWestie, May 29 '11 at 12:13

view_context.image_path('/path/to/image')

seems to work for me, no need to include helpers in the Controller
