To test a redirect you should so smth like that(to be adapted to your fixtures, or FactiryGirl or whatever you use): it "redirects to the home page upon save" do post :create, contact: FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:contact) expect(response).to redirect_to root_url #or some other url end Sure, in your code, main_app is an undefined variable, that's why you're getting Nil. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "rspec" group.
