rspec users - Nov 2009 - how to test a observer model?

I have a user_observer, code like this:

def after_create(user)
 UserMailer.deliver_signup_notification(user)
 user.random_key = random_key_method
 user.save
end


  before do
    @user = mock_model(User)
    @user_observer = UserObserver.instance
  end

UserMailer.should_receive(:deliver_signup_notification).with(@user)
@user_observer.after_create(@user)
---------------------------------------

how can I test the random_key process?

You can do something like this to sense the value passed to the user  
object:

it "should generate a key for the user which is 30 characters long" do
    @user.should_receive(:random_key=) do |value|
       value.length.should == 30
    end
    @user_observer.after_create(@user)
end

Obviously the precise specifications of the key are up to you and your  
stakeholders, but that should show you how you can test it.
