Hi folks. So I''m using mocha on a ruby project, and I really like it. One thing I''ve noticed is that it can be a bit "surprising" when I''m mocking methods that don''t exist on an object, and I think there''s an easyish fix. At the moment, you use sheep = mock() to create a mock sheep. What I''d like to do is something like sheep =

I have a spec which is failing, but I just can''t say why. Maybe I''m missing something painfully obvious? Here is the pastie of the results & the spec: http://pastie.caboo.se/42626 The spec to look for is "should have an array of users" I''ve printed out ("puts''ed") to the terminal the fact that the values are *opposite* to what

"Object is the root of Ruby''s class hierarchy. Its methods are available to all classes unless explicitly overridden." Wouldn''t Class class be at the root of the class hierarchy? After all, look at this: 1.9.2p290 :006 > Object.instance_of? Class => true Object is an instance of class, after all we can use one of Class'' instance methods on Object: 1.9.2p290 :017 > Object.new => #<Object:0x007faad047ecd0> But Class is not instance of Object: 1.9.2p290 :007 > Class.instance_of?

I tend to allow nulls in cases where the value is unknown, even if it''s a text/varchar field. RoR seems to push empty strings into these fields. Is there any way to get RoR to use NULL vice '''' if the input box is empty? Thanks! - Ian

...e.umask(022)'' inside environment.rb but that doesn''t make a difference. To handle uploads, I have a resource model which does the following in the before_create filter: def before_create return FileUtils.copy( @uploaded_file.local_path, self.path_to_file) if @uploaded_file.instance_of?(Tempfile) # else File.open(self.path_to_file, "w") { |f| f.write(@uploaded_file.read) } end If anyone has any other hints for how to change the umask, please let me know, this is driving me crazy! Thanks, Mike

Hi, I have two questions re the Exception Notifier plugin (i.e. which you install via "ruby script/plugin install exception_notification") Q1 - In it''s current setup (where it uses /public/500.html) is it possible to remove the "Status: 500 Internal Server Error Content-Type: text/html" text which seems to mysteriously get place at the top of the page?

Hi I run into problem trying to set expectations for the mockobject.class method, I had to undefine a method before I could set some expectation. Is there any better way of doing it? object = mock() .... klass = class <<object; self; end klass.send(:undef_method, "class") # I had to do this because Mocha utilizes "method_missing(symbol, *arguments, &block) "

Is there a built-in way of describing a mock_model as being an instance, beyond stubbing the eval("Object.methods - Object.new.methods") methods to throw NoMethodErrors? Edward
