I found this link the other day, re: how to stub out Net::HTTP::get and just about flipped it was so cool: http://habtm.com/articles/2006/01/12/mocking-net-http-get. This is exactly what I needed and allowed me to right even more happy model tests. I made an http.rb in my test/mocks/test directory and added the suggested require line in my model_test.rb file. Now, he didn''t give the details on what the fixture should look like. No matter. I gave it a try anyway. And when I run ruby test/unit/model_test.rb I''m getting errors from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb instead of from my stub file. I''m calling get from model.rb, naturally, and it (model.rb) has require ''net/http''. So this seems like a dependency problem. Thoughts? --dwf -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
