Ruby on Rails Tutorial Test Not Passing -

i'm working through railstutorial.org book, chapter 9. when running test suite, can't rid of following failure. code has been attempted first typing in , copying , pasting book.

...............f............................................  failures:    1) sessionscontroller delete 'destroy' should sign user out      failure/error: controller.should_not be_signed_in        expected signed_in? return false, got true      # ./spec/controllers/sessions_controller_spec.rb:69:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'  finished in 8.28 seconds 60 examples, 1 failure 

here's code test in sessions_controller_spec.rb:

describe "delete 'destroy'"    "should sign user out"     test_sign_in(factory(:user))     delete :destroy     controller.should_not be_signed_in     response.should redirect_to(root_path)   end end 

the (i think) relevant portions of sessions_controller.rb:

def destroy   sign_out   redirect_to root_path end 

the sign_out method found in sessions_helper.rb

def current_user=(user)   @current_user ||= user_from_remember_token end  def current_user   @current_user end  def signed_in?   !current_user.nil? end  def sign_out   cookies.delete(:remember_token)   self.current_user = nil end 

so, if understand correctly, test, after signing in factory user, calling sessionscontroller's destroy method, calls sign_out (from sessionshelper), explicitly setting self.current_user nil. test checks signed_in? line be_signed_in. since code sets self.current_user nil, current_user.nil? should return true, !current_user.nil? should return false, test wants (controller.should_not be_signed_in).

any appreciated. i'm learning ruby, rails , tdd @ same time, i'm not sure problem lies.

the problem how setting current user - ever setting login remember token, aren't ever allowing set nil. might want try following:

 def current_user=(user)   @current_user = user end  def current_user   @current_user ||= user_from_remember_token end
