That makes a-lot of sense. That 'new' word threw me off.
My create method is slightly more complex and I'm not sure how to spec it.
def create
@user = User.find(params[:user_id])
@ticket = @user.tickets.build(params[:ticket])
if @ticket.save
redirect_to tickets_path
else
render new_usr_ticket_path(params[:user_id])
end
end
Would I need two mock_models?
