testing for current user when updating is failing with Rails4

Hi Guys

in Rails 4, the update action is different than Jason's. In Rails4 the update is using the set_status helper method to automatically assign the @status = Status.find(params[:id])

When adding the following to the update method

  def update
    @status = current_user.statuses.find(params[:id])
    ...

The testing fails. Any idea how to solve is?

This is in the statuses controller, right?

I had to hack through some thing about update, with paperclip, which added another layer. Here's my controller if that helps:

I'm pretty good at explaining what is up with Rails 4, but this one is just a little beyond my reach. It's functional though.

My app isn't posted on heroku because the thing that is failing is actually my mailers, from Devise. It trips up your user_friendship button if you try to go live.
