Hi guys. I''m setting an expectation on a class method. For some reason, the method isn''t being stubbed, and the expectation isn''t seeing the call. In KeywordListsController#create, I call the private method #create_keywords_and_associate, which calls AdSenseHeavenParser#parse . Thus, some of my specs set an expectation on AdSenseHeavenParser#parse . However, that

The RSpec Development Team is pleased as glug (that''s kind of like punch, but more festive) to announce RSpec-1.1.0. Thanks to all who have contributed patches over the last few months. Big thanks to Dan North and Brian Takita for their important work on this release. Dan contributed his rbehave framework which is now the Story Runner. Brian patiently did a TON of refactoring around

Hey, I just ran into a situation where I would like to expect a method call with an argument I know and another one, which is a random number. I think mocking up the rand method is somehow ugly so I thought maybe this is the first time where I can take something from Java to Ruby ;) Java''s EasyMock mocking library knows things like "anyObject()" and "anyInteger()" in

This came up from an other issue where I needed to go check something in test::unit. Immediately when I dropped into the debugger in test::unit I saw something I have been missing: test unit by default shows a number of lines of code. Is there a way to make the rspec debugger do this? I am not sure if it is just me, but seems to me that when I moved to rspec, certain things which seemed to be
