No – that would be a way to write an assertion to check that the session’s
user_id key contains the contents of a (local) user_id variable, but you’ve no
need to do that.
What I was suggesting was that your `sign_in` method (in your spec’s
authentication helper) could look like this:
def sign_in(user)
session[:user_id] = user.id
end
I came up with that because I looked at how your `current_user` method is
implemented, and that just calls `User#find_by_id`, passing in the value of
`session[:user_id]`.
You can assign things to `session` because Rails makes the session available to
you in a controller test.
It’s better than stubbing out `current_user` because it executes your real
code, saving plenty of confusion when people are trying to debug your code.
