  else
    render :status => 400,
           :text => 'No user parameters

end

------- spec -------------
describe UserProfilesController do

controller.stub!(:user).and_return @user
User.stub!(:find_by_id).and_return(@user)
@user.stub!(:update_attributes).and_return(true)
end

it “should find User and return object” do
User.should_receive(:find_by_id).with(“1”).and_return(@user)
@user.should_receive(:update_attributes).and_return(true)
post :update, :id =>“1”, :user => {}

This uses user.id, not params[:id]

          :text => 'No user parameters

end

describe UserProfilesController do

before(:each) do
@user = mock_model(User)

The @user gets defined with an ID of 1001 (in this case). Try:

@user = mock_model(User, :id => 1)

HTH,

Thank you David.
The example passes when we pass the id as string
@user = mock_model(User, :id=> “1”)
