rspec users - Nov 2010 - why should_receive behaves differently

Hi friends

in my rspec_controller

1]@user.articles.should_receive(:find_by_id).with(''1'').and_return(@article)

 get :show,:id => 1

in above example 1 if i mention get :show, :id => 1 below the
schould_receive
it is working fine

but
2]get :show,:id => 1
@user.articles.should_receive(:find_by_id).with(''1'').and_return(@article)

if i mention in the above way it is raising error!

Why ?
What is the reason?
Could any one explain please ?
Thanks in advance?

When you say "foo.should_receive(:bar)" you''re saying
"foo should receive bar sometime between now and the end of this example.
The first example, the "get" is doing something that causes
@user.articles to receive :find_by_id, but in the second example that''s
already happened before you set the expectation and does not happen again, so
you get a failure message.

Oh!
i understood now
Thanks for good explanation
