Ruby on Rails

in your user_spec.rb file.
make sure you have:

       before(:each) do
         @user = User.create!(@attr)
       end

right after the following line:

     describe "has_password? method" do

it's missing from the code in the tutorial. you'll see it's part of
the password encryption block. it looks like it stubs out a user for
that test. it's not very DRY...probably a way to have that stub block
run for each describe block, but that's a bit further along than i
am. :) hope it helps...got my tests working.
