Functional test and flash with an error

I’m getting this error thats moaning about expected tag, but no tag
found matching {:content=>“User James Apps was successfully created.”,
:attributes=>{:id=>“notice”}, :tag=>“div”} in the file application.rb.

I tried using a regular expression - /#{user.first_name}/ , but that
wouldn’t work either

    Please post the actual assert statement that is tripping up. You’ve
    given us everything but the test itself!
