rspec users - May 2007 - [NoMethodError] simple problem

I think this test should pass but it doesn''t

1)
NoMethodError in ''Person should return full name''
undefined method `full_name?'' for #<Person:0x3567964>
./spec/models/person_spec.rb:43:

describe Person do
 it "should return full name" do
    person = Person.new
    person.should be_full_name
  end
end

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  def full_name
    true
  end
end

The error message says that what is missing is full_name?, not
full_name. Try this:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  def full_name?
    true
  end
end

Oh it all just clicked.
What I wanted to do was:

  def full_name
    [first_name, last_name].join('' '')
  end

  it "should return full name" do
    person = Person.create(:first_name => "Andrew",:last_name =>
"Brown")
    person.full_name.should eql("Andrew Brown")
  end

 Still getting use to RSpec but I''m loving it.

FYI - this will run faster if you use Person.new, which doesn''t save
the database record. May seem trivial on one spec, but as they
multiply, this sort of thing can make a big difference.
