How to complete the rspec put controller test from scaffold

Question

I\'m using scaffolding to generate rspec controller tests. By default, it creates the test as:

  let(:valid_attributes) {
    skip(\"Add a hash of attributes

Well, I did something that's quite simpler, I'm using Fabricator, but I'm pretty sure it's the same with FactoryGirl:

  let(:new_attributes) ( { "phone" => 87276251 } )

  it "updates the requested patient" do
    patient = Fabricate :patient
    put :update, id: patient.to_param, patient: new_attributes
    patient.reload
    # skip("Add assertions for updated state")
    expect(patient.attributes).to include( { "phone" => 87276251 } )
  end

Also, I'm not sure why you are building a new factory, PUT verb is supposed to add new stuff, right?. And what you are testing if what you added in the first place (new_attributes), happens to exist after the put in the same model.
