Rails Note #7: NIL in Fixtures
If you want user_id to be ‘nil’, then omit it from your fixtures. I tried setting user_id: nil before, and it turned out to be ‘0’ in the database.

Before pulling your hair out on what went wrong with your functional tests, check the test database if you have the correct values in your records. Remember ‘0’ is different from ‘nil’.
