I have a very fairly simple specit "should assign an instance variable" do get 'new' assigns[:city].should == City.new end In my controller def new @city = City.new end but when I run it, I get 'CitiesController GET 'new' should assign an instance variable' FAILED expected: #<City id: nil, name: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>, got: #<City id: nil, name: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil> (using ==) Those two things seem to be equal, am I wrong there? _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
Your controller is okay. Try to change your test like this: it "should assign an instance variable" do City.should_receive(:new).and_return(@city = mock_model(City)) get 'new' assigns[:city].should == @city end That way, you are comparing the same object instance => it should pass.
