Confused about one of the tests

I am looking at the test for "display the friend's name". In that context, it passes the user named jim's id to the new method in the user_friendships_controller. I know that jason is accessing the user named him which is in the test/fixtures/users.yml but there is no id associated to that user. How is he getting the id? Where does it come from?

Thanks,

Edward

It "is simple"() Don't follow this series of tutorials. The spec gem is terrible and uses way to much code to accomplish little things. Check out my ranting thread on https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/make-your-website-half-decent-so-your-users-can-learn-something
