Hi,

the code is

if @user.save
redirect_to :action => “confirm”
else
…

test
user = User.new(:email => “[email protected]”,
:password => “12345”,
:name => “you”)
post :create
user.should_receive(:save).and_return(true)
response.should redirect_to(‘confirm’)

the error

  1. UsersController GET create should save redirect to confirm
    Failure/Error: response.should redirect_to(:action => ‘confirm’)
    Expected response to be a <:redirect>, but was <200>.
    Expected block to return true value.

please help

You have to send params along with call to post.
Since there are no params in post, it goes to the else section of you
controller, where you render a action, and response code for render is
200.
So the test fails saying that you expected a redirect but got render.

Your test can be something like this:

post :create, :user => {:email => “[email protected]”, :password =>
“12345”, :name => “you”}
response.should redirect_to(‘confirm’)
