I''m speccing some code which monkey-patches initialize on
ActiveResource::Base. The monkey-patch lives in a module. My spec
looks like this:
describe MyModule, "doing stuff" do
it "adds methods to ARes subclasses" do
class Thing < ARes::Base ; end
(lambda {Thing.new.the_new_method}).should_not raise_error(NoMethodError)
end
end
I did this thing backwards, all sloppy hack style, and I''ve got code
which uses alias_method_chain to introduce the method-adding during
initializiation. If I comment out that call to alias_method_chain, the
spec fails. But if I comment it back in, the spec doesn''t pass.
Instead I get this:
Pending:
ActiveResourceFormHandlersInitializer initializing ARes all
nifty-style NO NAME (Not Yet Implemented)
It''s very very likely this is due to some bug in my code - programming
the sloppy way kind of has that effect - but I''m finding the output
somewhere between weird and incomprehensible. What''s going on? Is
RSpec doing some initialization as well, so that my initialization
monkey-patch screws with its head?
