Two tips:
1) You can tail the test log (tail -f log/test/log). This will show you which
controller & action is actually being hit by your test -- it is likely that
this action isn't getting hit.
2) Try the debugger! Put "debugger" right after def registered_user, then make
sure 'ruby-debug' or 'ruby-debug19' is in your Gemfile (hint: put it into a
:test and :development group so that it doesn't deploy to production), and when
you run spec be sure to use the -d flag. If you can get it to drop into
debugger on that line of code you know your app is getting to that action.
I don't suppose the if signed_in? is the problem? I don't see any place in your
test where you are logging in the user.
Good luck!
