Hmm, when I try that-- It still doesn't work... it "should fail when passwords do not match" do User.create(@invalid_attributes).should be_false end 'User should fail when passwords do not match' FAILED expected #<User id: nil, login: "test_name", crypted_password: "7dc87663cf2600d1e14f8008b99beb458428aad4331765da0e9...", password_salt: "UITwJqOSRNzvajFmKpxL", persistence_token: "151252fc81a9990f8acbf689108b9a51239a9aa81f459ca8c75...", single_access_token: "ZISHX20gtD4gCowZ2NLo", perishable_token: nil, login_count: 0, failed_login_count: 0, last_request_at: nil, current_login_at: nil, last_login_at: nil, current_login_ip: nil, last_login_ip: nil, contact_id: nil, access_level_id: nil, active: false, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil> to be false > expect do > User.create!(@invalid_attributes) > end.to raise_exception(ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid) And when I tried that way, I got the same error I was getting originally: it "should fail when passwords do not match" do expect do User.create! (@invalid_attributes) end.to raise_exception(ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid) end ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid in 'User should create a valid user' Validation failed: Password doesn't match confirmation -p _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
