rspec users - Dec 2006 - Stubbing an instance method on a class

Hi all,

I''m not sure if I''ve missed it, but I couldn''t find
any docs for
stubbing an instance method on a class. For example:

class Foo; end

Foo.stub!(:my_instance_method).and_return(nil)

The reason (I think) I need this is because a certain class
(Test::Unit::TestCase) expects an argument (name of method) to new and
throws an exception if that instance method doesn''t exist.

Thanks,
Brian

Hasn''t been implemented yet, but there is an RFE:

David,

Thanks for the response. I''ll be sure to check the RFE''s first
next
time. Forgot to do that. :(

No worries. Just because there''s an RFE doesn''t mean
it''s going to get
implemented anyhow. So if you see something on the list that you care
about, let us know.

I was just letting you know that it''s on the radar.

Cheers,
David
