Calling stub! with no receiver means it's being called on the example
itself. Assuming you're using RestfulAuth, you'll want this to be on
the controller itself:
controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@user)
Although, looking at the 'bid' action, it doesn't appear to be doing
anything with the user yet, so I'm not sure why this is here at this
point.

If you're using the mock_user, which uses mock_model (I'm assuming
here, since you're not posting complete files),

I'm guessing this is line 17 and the "assigns[:bid] line below is 23.
What this means is that assigns[:bid] is nil, which means that somehow
the action is failing to generate the bit object. I'm at a bit of a
loss as to why that might be, but that's what is indicated.
