Thank you Robert. That works. I should have used the "current_user" instead
of @_current_user in the first place.
But, if I do want to use @_current_user, how do I pass on that instance
variable to the controller from spec?
Ignore the item_choice. It is a remnant of a piece that I edited off to
simplify the question and concentrate on what I wanted.
