rspec users - Mar 2008 - Testing that a model helper method is called

So, I have a plugin that adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base, let''s
call the
method is_encrypted.

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base

is_encrypted

end

So, my question is, how do I write a spec to show that is_encrypted is
called here? I would rather not write specs that say that the behavior is
there, since I have tested the behavior already in my plugin.

Thanks.
-Corey

MyModel.should_receive(:is_encrypted)
load "my_model.rb"

Thanks, Pat, that appeared to work.
