Hmmm...I made the changes that both you and Britt suggested and still no
dice. I broke it down and put print statements (yeesh) in the controller
around the @organization.notes << @new_note statement. This confirms that
the statement returns false just like the stub told it to do (so I took out
the puts statement and ran the test again), but for some reason I still
don't get the rendered template as set up in the else clause. I'm not sure
what's going on, but I suppose I'll just skip that test until later.
Thanks for the help!
