What is the difference between these two ways of mocking (with and
without the string):
mock(''Object'')
and
mock(Object)
?

Using the Spec::Rails mock_model method, you must use the class instead of a String. There *was* talk at one point of adding a feature that would allow you to run examples w/ a command line switch that would look for all the mocks created w/ mock(Type) and report back if the type didn''t actually support the expected methods. But that''s not present so there''s really no diff now.> _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-users at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users >
What exactly does the mock_model do which is different from the regular mock ?

Take a look at the code for details - just search for "def mock_model" in the rspec plugin (I''d tell you exactly where to look but it''s moved around a couple of times so it depends on which version you have).> > > Scott > > On Apr 20, 2007, at 11:29 AM, David Chelimsky wrote: > > > On 4/20/07, Scott Taylor <mailing_lists at railsnewbie.com> wrote: > >> What is the difference between these two ways of mocking (with and > >> without the string): > >> > >> mock(''Object'') > >> > >> and > >> > >> mock(Object) > >> > >> ? > >> > >> Scott > > > > IIRC, using the #mock method, there is really no difference (are you > > observing any difference?).
