I have been following a tutorial from a (semi-outdated) textbook describing how to create a rails social networking app. I have reached the testing phase and have encountered an error I can't seem to solve. It originates from an asset call in the site_controller_test.rb file.
Error message:
1) Failure: test_registration_success<SiteControllerTest> [test/functional/ site_controller_test.rb:49]: <nil> expected to not be nil.

Thanks for any help. It seems like it can retrieve a user from the post method fine, but once it tries to either insert or pull from the database it runs into trouble.
