This line overrides the login action with a message expectation, so the login action in the controller is never executed. What you want is to stub the decision points and then set expectations about what happens. For example: it "assigns the employee id to the session if the employee is found" do Employee.stub(:authenticate).and_return(mock_model(Employee, :id => 37)) post :login, params session[:employee_id].should == 37 end Let me know if that is not self-explanatory and I'll explain.
