Can you show your spec? I'm not sure why you're using assigns in the
controller spec. David explained that it doesn't work like that.
Your spec should look something like
it "should destroy the record" do
mock_comment = stub_model Comment
Comment.stub!(:find).and_return mock_comment
mock_comment.should_receive(:destroy)
delete :destroy, :id => mock_comment.to_param
end
