So please if you can, do rather bottom post or inline post. That said, I am not sure what you mean by flash[:error] being a variable? As the trace shows flash[:error] is nil, from this alone, we can follow that flash points to an object which responds to the #[] message. In our case it replies to [:error] with nil. However in the given context we *know* that flash is a Hash representing well, the flash. I am not an expert to tell you where in the rspec setup this is mocked, but this should not be the problem in our case. That said I would be happy to learn more about that mechanism.
