Hi Ben, This is probably not an rspec issue, but a rails defect ( http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10896 ).
>From your code, I am assuming you are story testing a Rails app. I was bitten by this too recently... Took me a while to figure it out. The workaround is to replace post.id by post[:id] Looks ugly, but it works. On your second question, my guess is the script/install plugin from git only works as of rails 2.1.0 . At least that is what I understood from reading http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails/wikis/home I followed the steps under "Install an RSpec release >= 1.1.4:" and that worked on 2.0.2 . Hope this helps, Willem van den Ende p.s. I just joined the mailing list and found Ben's question in the archive. it didn't seem to have an answer yet. apologies for double posting if it already has p.s II. I got hooked on story testing after seeing David Chelimsky's presentation at qcon london this spring.
