As Paul pointed out correctly flash[:error] == nil, thus your spec works quite correctly. All you have to do now is to set flash[:error] appropriately, in your case I guess that this should be done by means of ActiveRecord/ActiveModel validations. Are you sure that you have the necessary validation in your Task model?

The 42nd fibonacci number does not contain '1000000' that is almost the expected 3.0e-06 times. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
