Then the problem was just rendering the home page after invalid submission instead of redirecting to the home page. The original code was render 'static_pages/home', you can check it here <https://www.railstutorial.org/book/user_microposts#code-microposts_create_action_with_feed> . This original code would show a flash error message that the test would catch with: assert_select 'div#error_explanation' If I remove or comment this line in the test, the test would pass as long as I use a redirect in the create action of the microposts controller. No flash errors are showed after redirection, though -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
