I often use #and_raise like so:
@error_message = ''Some error''
@sf.should_receive(:shift_time!).and_raise @error_message
However, after trying to do this:
@argument_error = mock_model ArgumentError,
:message => @error_message
@sf.should_receive(:shift_time!).and_raise @argument_error
and then reading the docs for #and_raise, I realised that #and_raise
only accepts a String or exception class.
Is there a way to set the exception class and error message?

Instead of a mock, try a real ArgumentError: @sf.should_receive(:shift_time).and_raise(ArgumentError.new(@error_message)) HTH, David> -Nick > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-users at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users >
