test Couldn't find User without an ID

I am trying to run this test setup do

    @comment = comments(:hello)     @comment.commenter = "cleb"     @comment.body = "hello"     @comment.user_id = 1

  end test "should create comment" do

    assert_difference('Comment.count') do       post :create, :comment => @comment.attributes     end

    assert_redirected_to comment_path(assigns(:comment))   end

It comes up with

test_should_create_comment(CommentsControllerTest): ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound: Couldn't find User without an ID

This is from comments.yml

hello:   commenter: cleb   body: hello   user_id: 1

This is from comments.controller

  def create     @cuser = @current_user     @user = User.find(params[:user_id])     @user.comments.create(:user_id => @user.id, :commenter => @cuser.login, :body => params[:comment][:body])     respond_to do |format|      format.js      format.html {redirect_to user_path}     end   end

What am I doing wrong?

Check the params[:user_id] i think it was nil

So it is. How can I introduce a user in the fixtures or setup to give it a value?

This line: post :create, :comment => @comment.attributes

The second parameter (hash) is the content of params in your controller. So basically your params[:comment] would be @comment.attributes

So if you expected params[:user_id] then you should pass it to the post call

:user_id is one of the attributes

  setup do     @comment = comments(:hello)     @comment.commenter = "cleb"     @comment.body = "hello"     @comment.user_id = 1   end

so basically its not params[:user_id] it’s params[:comment][:user_id] Ahmy Yulrizka

This did it

assert_difference('Comment.count') do       post :create, :comment => @comment.attributes, :user_id => 2     end
