Creating Friendship UI-Testing Controller Responses

I am having problems getting the right answer for Task 2: In the creation test, assert that the response redirects to the profile path for the user fixture of jim.

Here is what I have: 

class UserFriendshipsControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
  context "#create, when not logged in" do

should "redirect to the profile_path" do
  post :create, friend_id: users(:jim).id
  assert_response :redirect
  assert_redirected_to user(:jim)
end

  end
end

I am pretty sure the assert_redirected_to is right but not sure how to redirect it to the profile path for the user fixture of jim.

Figured it out:

      assert_redirected_to profile_path(users(:jim))

Close! Try changing it to assert_redirected_to profile_path(users(:jim).profile_name))

I have:

  context "#create, when not logged in" do

  should "redirect to the profile_path" do
    post :create, friend_id: users(:jim).id
    assert_response :redirect
    assert_redirected_to profile_path(users(:jim).profile_name))
  end

 end
 end

But it still says I got it wrong?
