In my opinion, if the user can't generate the event through normal interaction (clicking links, etc.) then it probably shouldn't be in a cucumber test. > If the controller RSpec proves that the controller responds with a > redirect response to the correct page, is that all I need? Yes. The two tests are trying to test the same thing and so are mostly redundant. But I think the RSpec test is the more appropriate test. It's a bonus that that one is already working. -- Cynthia N.
