Try this in irb: Product.new == Product.new => false This is why what you have is failing. What will work is something like this: it "should assign the new product for the view" do product = Object.new Product.should_receive(:new).and_return(product) do_get assigns[:product].should equal(product) end You can use product = Product.new for the first line, but I'm pretty sure Object.new is cheaper.
