It turns out that the test should read

  describe "GET #show" do
    it "assigns the requested user as @user" do
      user = User.create! valid_attributes
      get :show, id: user.to_param, session: valid_session
      expect(assigns(:user)).to eq(user)
    end
  end

Note that the get line has had params: {id: user.to_param} changed to just id: user.to_param. Was this changed at some point and the scaffold files not updated?
