Expected response to be a <:redirect>, but was <200>

Greetings, i have a question about a functional test failing
with the
sentence:

Expected response to be a <:redirect>, but was
<200>

The controller's function is

def create
    monster = Monster.new(params[:monster])
    movement = monster.movements.build(params[:movement])
    attack = monster.attacks.build(params[:attack])
    if monster.save
      flash[:notice] = 'Monster was successfully created.'
      redirect_to :action => 'list'
    else
      render :action => 'new'
    end
  end

while test is

def test_create
    num_monsters = Monster.count

    post :create, :monster =>
monsters(:first).attributes

    assert_response :redirect
    assert_redirected_to :action => 'list'

    assert_equal num_monsters + 1, Monster.count
  end

by log i see that monster is created but is not directed in
the list
action and i can't understand why ...
may you help me?

ah ... this is my log

You've solved my problem: with your hint i was able to view
my model's
inconsistency that caused failing of my test.
Thanks a lot
