After a quick look, it appears that you're expecting a validation failure
on this test, but the "invalid attributes" you're counting on aren't --

e.g. instead of

let(:invalid_attributes) {
{
first_name: @user.first_name,
password: @user.password
}
}

(which won't empty the email that was already set) try

let(:invalid_attributes) {
{
first_name: @user.first_name,
password: @user.password,
email: nil
}
}

and your save will fail.

HTH!
