In your spec you are stubbing Post so that Post.find(14) returns
mock_post. Then you pass 14 as the :id parameter to the update action.
In the update action, you use the :id parameter to find a *Comment*
not a Post. So, mock_post is never actually used and the
should_receive is thus never triggered.
