rspec users - Oct 2007 - Strange mock_model behaviour with ActiveResource model

Hi,

I have two models in an app that inherit from ActiveResource::Base.
The scaffold controller tests for one of the models works fine, but
the other one dies when calling mock_model in the "handling GET
/fa_codes" spec:

Specifically, the call to mock model here:

 before do
    @fa_code = mock_model(FaCode)
    FaCode.stub!(:find).and_return([@fa_code])
  end

generates this failure:

NameError in ''FaCodesController handling GET /fa_codes should assign
the found fa_codes for the view''
uninitialized constant Spec::Rails::Initializer
(eval):11:in `class''
/home/jhughes/dev/rj/gump_rewrite/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/rails_example.rb:85:in
`add_stubs''
/home/jhughes/dev/rj/gump_rewrite/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/rails_example.rb:73:in
`mock_model''
./spec/controllers/fa_codes_controller_spec.rb:64:

This is with edge rails, trunk rspec and rspec_on_rails. I might have
pegged this as some Ares wierdness, but there are two models with the
same setup, and only one dies like this.

Any ideas?

James

Can you post your entire:

it "should assign the found fa_codes for the view" block? as well as 
your fa_code controller? perhaps pastie it and link.

That appears to be the spec failing.

Hi Brian,

It''s actually all of the it blocks inside the "describe
FaCodesController, "handling GET /fa_codes" do" block -- and, if
they
weren''t commented out right now, all of these describe blocks all fail
in the same way:

describe FaCodesController, "handling GET /fa_codes.xml" do
describe FaCodesController, "handling GET /fa_codes/1" do
describe FaCodesController, "handling GET /fa_codes/1.xml" do

Here''s the model, controller_spec and controller:

http://pastie.caboo.se/108209

FYI, I tried changing the base class of the model to
ActiveRecord::Base and got the same error.

Never mind. User error.
