rspec users - Nov 2006 - model stubs with view/controller specs: error_messages_for??

How would I set up a model stub so that  <%= error_messages_for  
''some_model'' %>  doesn''t complain?

I started going down this road:     @some_model.stub! 
(:errors).and_return(ActiveRecord::Errors.new)

but it seems like a long, hopefully uneccessary road.

Cheers,
Michael

Try returning a mock instead:

@mock_errors = mock("errors")
@some_model.stub!(:errors).and_return(@mock_errors)

That''ll shorten the road quite a bit.

Mmm, that is how I started, but then it complains there is no "count"
method

Two options at this point:

@mock_errors.stub!(:count).and_return(0)

or

@some_model.stub!(:errors).and_return([])

I think either will work.
