rspec users - May 2008 - Is there an equivalent to anything() for Hash parameters?

Hi -- is there an equivalent to the anything() method to use with Hash
parameters?
So that the following call:
  Model.find( :all, :conditions => "name LIKE
''%rt%''", :order => ''name''
)

Could have the two following successful examples:
  Model.should_receive( :find ).with( :all, { :conditions => "name LIKE
''%rt%", anything } )
  Model.should_receive( :find ).with( :all, { anything, :order =>
''name''
} )

If anyone knew a way of generating that sort of behaviour, I''d be
*very*
grateful!
Cheers,
   Doug.

If you''re using the latest from github:

Model.should_receive(:find).with(:all, hash_including(:order =>
''name''))

This only verifies the specified key/value pairs and ignores  
everything else.

FYI this was discussed in March, so you might be able to find  
something useful in the list archive if you''d rather roll your own  
parameter matcher than switch to bleeding-edge RSpec:

Cheers for both of those responses!
I think I might try to get onto the bleeding edge of RSpec, although I 
am currently having some issues doing so.
If I don''t get that fixed in the next half hour or so, I reckon
I''ll go
w/ the custom matcher -- it''s probably about time I refreshed my memory
on matchers, anyway!
Thanks again for the help, there.
   Doug.

Just a final word -- updated to the latest RSpec, and have been *loving* 
hash_including()!
Cheers again for those responses!
