I've tried running the test a few times after I finished adding the test "only shows the correct user statuses"
1) Failure:
test_only_show_the_correct_user_statuses(ProfilesControllerTest) [test/functional/profiles_controller_test.rb:24]:
<#<User id: 120214414, first_name: "Dennis", last_name: "Hegstad", profile_name: "dennish", email: "dennis@songsly.com", encrypted_password: "", reset_password_token: nil, reset_password_sent_at: nil, remember_created_at: nil, sign_in_count: 0, current_sign_in_at: nil, last_sign_in_at: nil, current_sign_in_ip: nil, last_sign_in_ip: nil, created_at: "2013-09-06 02:21:33", updated_at: "2013-09-06 02:21:33">> expected but was
<nil>.
4 tests, 7 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips
My code:
require 'test_helper'
class ProfilesControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
test "should get show" do
get :show, id: users(:dennish).profile_name
assert_response :success
assert_template 'profiles/show'
end
test "should render a 404 on profile not found" do
get :show, id: "doesn't exist"
assert_response :not_found
end
test "that variables are assigned on successful profile viewing" do
get :show, id: users(:dennish).profile_name
assert assigns(:user)
assert_not_empty assigns(:statuses)
end
test "only show the correct user statuses" do
get :show, id: users(:dennish).profile_name
assigns(:statuses).each do |status|
assert_equal users(:dennish), status.user
end
end
end

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Dennis Hegstad that's a weird error. Can you drop a line to help@teamtreehouse.com with a link to your code on GitHub or a zip archive of your treebook directory?

Treehouse Guest TeacherIs this the latest version of your code? There's no profile controller or test in that repository.

Courses Plus Student 2,243 PointsThere's a profiles_controller. Do i need to generate a new scaffold for 'profile'? Or just rename the profiles_controller to profile_controller ?
