Two tips:
1) You can tail the test log (tail -f log/test/log). This will show you which
controller & action is actually being hit by your test -- it is likely that
this action isn''t getting hit.
2) Try the debugger! Put "debugger" right after def registered_user,
then make sure ''ruby-debug'' or
''ruby-debug19'' is in your Gemfile (hint: put it into a :test
and :development group so that it doesn''t deploy to production), and
when you run spec be sure to use the -d flag. If you can get it to drop into
debugger on that line of code you know your app is getting to that action.
I don''t suppose the if signed_in? is the problem? I don''t see
any place in your test where you are logging in the user.
Good luck!
