Where is this file? For rspec-rails to know that it's supposed to be a
controller spec, it either needs to be inside the
PROJECT_ROOT/spec/controllers directory, or you need to change the
describe declaration to this:
describe ChannelsController, :type => :controller do

Get rid of this setup. First of all, RSpec does this for you
automatically inside controller example groups. Secondly, this is
outside any example group (describe block), so it's not related to
anything anyway.

I'd move user_attributes inside the example group too. That way it's
scoped. If not, it's going to be available to (and possibly in
conflict with) any files that get loaded after this one.

Uh, where are all the 'a's in the backtrace?
