rspec users - Sep 2012 - Stub a controller method containing arguments

controller code:

class BooksController < ApplicationController
  def index
   param1, param2 = "123", "456"
    @test = method_1(param1, param2)
  end

  private
  def method_1(param1, param2)
    return "test"
  end
end

controller tests

describe "GET index" do
  it "get books" do
    param1, param2 = "12334", "456233"
    controller.stub!(:method_1).with(param1,param2).and_return("test")
    get :index
    assert_response :success
    assigns(:test).should eq("test")
  end
end

How to stub a controller private method which will take any arguments

In your example above, the values of param1 and param2 are different
in the rspec example and the controller, so I''m guessing
you''re
getting a failure. If you''re constraining a stub with specific args,
they have to match.

Curious - why do you care about the args in your real spec?
