Writing the code for show action in rspec

Hi friends

I am new to rspec. i have one doubt about show action

for example
[1] ---->If we use the below way i.e
get :show,:id => 1 above the query i got error.

“Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'MyController GET show should find
my controller and return object ’
expected :find_by_id with (“1”) once, but received it 0 times”

describe MyControler, “GET show” do
before(:each) do
@user = Factory(:complete_user)
controller.stub!(:require_user => true , :current_user => @user)
@my_controller = mock_model(MyControler)
@user.my_controllers.stub!(:find_by_id).and_return @my_controller
end

it "should find my controller and return object " do
get :show,:id => 1
@user.my_controllers.should_receive(:find_by_id).with(‘1’).and_return(@my_controller)
end
end

[2] :but if i use
get :show,:id => 1 below the query like

it "should find my controller and return object " do
@user.my_controllers.should_receive(:find_by_id).with(‘1’).and_return(@my_controller)
get :show,:id => 1
end

i am not getting any error.

Why? What is the reason?
Could any one explain please?
