Rails - Nov 2006 - Stubbing helpers

Hi,

Is it possible to stub out a helper for development?

I''ve got a (view) helper that renders a partial and runs all kind of
javascript.  But for dev purposes I''d like it to return some hardcoded
html.  I''m not having any success stubbing the helper out.  Something
like...

test/mocks/development/helper_stub.rb

require ''application_helper''
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  def my_helper
    "<div>Hard-coded stuff</div>"
  end
end

Can this be done?  Thanks,
--Trevor

variable in your view

You can test RAILS_ENV in your class or module definition:
  module MyHelper
    if RAILS_ENV == ''development''
      def my_helper() ''<div>junk</div>'' end
    else
      def my_helper() content_tag :div, special_junk end
    end
  end
