Rails - Apr 2007 - Shouldn't this spec fail?

Shouldn''t the second spec fail? I''m trying to provide a
default value in the
model (I''m well aware this is normally the job of the controller, but
it
seems right to be the model in this case). Also, after_initialize
doesn''t
seem to be the right way of doing this, but before_create or any of the
other things don''t make the first test pass.

specify "should provide a default name when none is given" do
  @emailer.attributes = valid_emailer_attributes.except(:name)
  @emailer.name.should_not_be_nil
  @emailer.should_be_valid
end

specify "should not replace name if one is given" do
  @emailer.attributes = valid_emailer_attributes  # valid name attribute is
"bill"
  (@emailer.name=="bill").should_be_true
end


class Emailer < ActiveRecord::Base
    def after_initialize
        self.name = "joe"
    end
end

I know how to code what I''m trying to do, but I want to make sure I
only do
the minimum to make the specs pass, in proper TDD/BDD style.
