OK - that helped. The and_raise method can take an exception class or object. If you pass it the class, it will try to create an instance of it using Klass.new. This is the source of the problem. In your example we see: @user.should_receive(:save!).and_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid) Rspec tries to call ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid.new, but that requires an argument, which is why you get an error saying it got 0 for 1 arguments. Because and_raise can also take an exception object, the solution to this problem is: @user.should_receive(:save!).and_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid.new(@user)) I guess the root of the problem is poor docs - I'm updating the rdoc now and it will be published with the next release.
