The problem was related to the use of the factory-generated instance, in this case a parent with one child instance similar to Hartl's user/ micropost example, but different in that I require at least one child instance to be present (in the has_many relationship).
I'm doing this in conjunction with an attachment upload, so getting everything working together and tested properly has been problematic. I may post an example later to hopefully get some feedback. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
