Rspec controller spec resulting in failure - ruby-on-rails

Question

My RSpec for ResidenceInformations Controller is resulting in failure when I run 'rake spec'. My Controller code is as follows
class ResidenceInformationsController < ApplicationController
def index
end
def show
render partial: 'subregion_select'
end
def new
#residence_info = ResidenceInformation.new
#saved_residence_info = ResidenceInformation.where('applicant_id=?', current_applicant.id)
end
def create
#residence_info = ResidenceInformation.new(residence_informations_params)
#residence_info.state = params[:order][:state]
#residence_info.applicant_id = current_applicant.id
##residence_info.residence_type_id = params[:residence_type][:residence_type_id]
#residence_info.save!
if cookies[:residence_next] == 'true' && cookies[:add_another] == 'false'
redirect_to new_employment_information_path
elsif cookies[:residence_next] == 'false' && cookies[:add_another] == 'true'
#cookies[:add_another] = 'false'
redirect_to request.referer
elsif cookies[:residence_next] == 'false' && cookies[:add_another] == 'false'
redirect_to request.referer
end
end
def edit
#residence_info = ResidenceInformation.find(params[:id])
end
def update
end
def destroy
end
def subregion_options
render partial: 'subregion_select'
end
private
def residence_informations_params
params.require(:residence_information).permit(:address1, :address2, :country, :state, :city, :zip, :reason_for_moving, :resident_since, :resident_upto, :was_notice_given, :monthly_rent, :residence_type_id, :applicant_id)
end
end
And This is my spec file for the above mentioned controller
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe ResidenceInformationsController, :type => :controller do
describe 'GET #new' do
login_applicant
it 'should have a current_applicant' do
subject.current_applicant.should_not be_nil
end
it 'assigns a new ResidenceInformation to #residenceinfo' do
#residenceinfo = FactoryGirl.create(:residence_information, address1: 'dsada', country: 'india', state: 'wb', city: 'kolkata', zip: '700091', reason_for_moving: 'none', resident_since: '2015-01-05', was_notice_given: 'true', residence_type_id: 1, applicant_id: 13)
#puts"****************#{residenceinfo.inspect}***********************"
get :new
assigns(:residenceinfo).should be_a_new(ResidenceInformation)
end
it 'renders the :new template' do
get :new
response.should render_template :new
end
end
describe 'POST create' do
login_applicant
context 'with valid attributes' do
it 'should have a current_applicant' do
subject.current_applicant.should_not be_nil
end
it 'create a new ResidenceInformation' do
expect{
post :create, residenceinformation: FactoryGirl.create(:residence_information, address1: 'dsada', country: 'india', state: 'wb', city: 'kolkata', zip: '700091', reason_for_moving: 'none', resident_since: '2015-01-05', was_notice_given: 'true', residence_type_id: 1, applicant_id: 13)
}.to change(ResidenceInformation, :count).by(1)
end
end
end
end
I am getting the following error when running this spec file
Failure/Error: assigns(:residenceinfo).should be_a_new(ResidenceInformation)
expected nil to be a new ResidenceInformation(id: integer, address1: string, address2: string, country: string, state: string, city: string, zip: string, monthly_rent: integer, reason_for_moving: string, resident_since: date, resident_upto: date, was_notice_given: boolean, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, residence_type_id: integer, applicant_id: integer)
# ./spec/controllers/residence_informations_controller_spec.rb:17:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
As I am completely new to RSpec , so I would appreciate any kind of help I get from you people. Thanks in advance
EDIT
Sorry , I had given the wrong spec file. now given the right one

Answer 1

Your instance variable is named #residence_info and you are checking :residenceinfo. Try it with the underscore:
assigns(:residence_info).should be_a_new(ResidenceInformation)
