It looks like that ought to work. The first thing I'd suggest is to ensure that your request is actually succeeding and not erroring out or getting redirected due to authentication. response.should be_ok Next, I'd confirm that the two users are the same (in spec & in the controller) by 'puts'ing the ids or something. Could you confirm that those two fairly common reasons these sorts of things usually fail for me don't apply? Then we can start looking at other possible issues. Also, I would probably be more specific in my assertion by doing @user.stripe_customer.should == Stripe::Customer.last.id Thanks, Srushti http://c42.in _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
