First - read the docs at http://rubydoc.info/gems/rspec-expectations/RSpec/Matchers:change to learn how to use the `change` matcher properly. Also look at http://rubydoc.info/gems/rspec-expectations/RSpec/Matchers:expect so you'll understand my suggestion below. Second - you say above "When I create a new session, if there was a previous session row in the db with user_id = xxx, it should delete it first, then create a new row." This suggests that you want Session.count _not_ to change at all: user = FactoryGirl(:user) session = FactoryGirl(:session, :user_id => user.id) expect { session.save! }.not_to change(Session, :count) HTH, David _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
