mocha developer - Oct 2006 - did something in revision 68 break stubs?

Hi,

I''ve been a happy user of Mocha for a while now. My current project is 
by far the most complicated I''ve ever worked on and Mocha has made 
testing it much easier than it would otherwise be.

So, I was highly disturbed to come in this morning, run svn up and find 
that something in today''s update broke lots of my tests. I use Mocha as
a Rails plugin under svn:externals and when I hit svn up, I was updated 
to revision 68. Then when I ran my morning''s ritual full test run all 
the tests that call ''stubs'' threw erros like this one:

  7) Error:
test_find_venue_id_returns_nil(UpcomingMessageTest):
NoMethodError: undefined method `stubs'' for
#<UpcomingMessage:0x2a983cb2e0>
    
/home/greg/projects/mercury/config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1845:in
`method_missing''
    test/unit/upcoming_message_test.rb:116:in 
`test_find_venue_id_returns_nil''
    
/home/greg/projects/mercury/config/../vendor/plugins/mocha/lib/mocha/test_case_adapter.rb:19:in
`run''

The problem seems to be occuring in lib/mocha/test_case_adapter.rb which 
was updated by revision 68.

Wondering if anyone else is seeing this problem and if not where I 
should start to look in my code for the incompatibility. I''ve looked
and
looked to see if something I changed recenly  could possibly have caused 
this problem (even canceled posting to this list once because I thought 
I''d found it), but I can''t see what I could be doing wrong.

Thanks for the help,

Greg

I''m glad you''ve been finding Mocha useful. You were right
about the bug - it
should be fixed in revision 70 (latest HEAD). Sorry.

I have to confess that I have been making relatively large changes to Mocha
recently in HEAD. I had forgotten that the default for Rails plugins with
svn:externals is to use HEAD - we use Piston (http://piston.rubyforge.org/)
to have more control over plugin versions and so hadn''t noticed the
bug.

The bug was a typo in a require statement. Mocha''s tests were passing
because other tests had already loaded the missing file. I''ve been
meaning
to add a mini Rails project to test the plugin more extensively - I guess I
should make it a higher priority!

I hope that helps.
