^^ Givens, by definition, are given; to be taken for granted. They should not
have expectations in them. If you feel the need to have an expectation in them,
it suggests that there is another sceneario missing.

This doesn't tell you that the new user actually exists. Here I'd recommend
going to the database:
Then /^new user should be created$/ do
User.find_by_username("frankpopp").should_not be_nil
end

Your email earlier this thread has an "is_admin?" method, so I'll assume
"is_user?" works the same way:
def is_admin?
@current_user && @current_user.id != 1
end
The problem is that @current_user is an instance variable inside the
controller. You can't access it from a scenario. Usually I just use something
something on the page to identify that "frankpopp" is signed in.
