[rspec-users] Not sure why this is failing

[Chris Olsen]

I am not sure why the tests don't see the call of the new method for the
Address class.  It can be seen in the controller method where the
Address.new is called.
>> @address = Address.new(params[:address])

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

Here is the error message:
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'UsersController handling POST
/users should create a new user'
Mock 'Class' expected :new with ({}) once, but received it 0 times
./spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb:245:
