Hi David, The trace is below.
Like I said, the line in the spec that causes the error (at least I think it does; it works when I comment it out; plus, it fails in all 3 specs where I have a similar line) is: act.stub(:update_attributes).and_raise(ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError) The line in the controller that bombs out (about 7 lines down in the trace) is: if @act.update_attributes params[:act] flash.now.notice = "Act was updated. (Refresh the list to see changes in the table.)" end Thanks, Larry ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 2) /home/larry/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0@stuptues/gems/activerecord-3.2.1/
