Hi friends

I am new to rspec. i have one doubt about show action

for example [1] ---->If we use the below way i.e get :show,:id => 1 above the query i got error.

"Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'MyController GET show should find my controller and return object ' expected :find_by_id with ("1") once, but received it 0 times"

describe MyControler, "GET show" do   before(:each) do     @user = Factory(:complete_user)     controller.stub!(:require_user => true , :current_user => @user)     @my_controller = mock_model(MyControler)     @user.my_controllers.stub!(:find_by_id).and_return @my_controller   end

  it "should find my controller and return object " do     get :show,:id => 1   @user.my_controllers.should_receive(:find_by_id).with('1').and_return(@my_controller) end end

[2] :but if i use get :show,:id => 1 below the query like

it "should find my controller and return object " do @user.my_controllers.should_receive(:find_by_id).with('1').and_return(@my_controller) get :show,:id => 1 end

i am not getting any error.

Why? What is the reason? Could any one explain please?
