The first thing is that you have not noticed that the error is pointing out a bug in your code (as tests should do). You should be checking in create that there is a user logged in (or not allowing access to the action if no-one is logged in). So first you need to add a test to check that the action cannot be accessed if no-one is logged in. In order to get the test you have shown to pass you need to effectively login a user by setting up the session. I have to go so have not time to describe it but if you google for setting session in rails tests then you should easily find it.
