...l players" do render :partial =>"games/game", :object => @game response.should have_tag(''a'',"(2) Players") end I''m not sure how to do the mock model, I think it would be done two ways but unsure of the syntax: 1: add players in @game = mock_model(Game, :name => ''The Battle for Blaze'', :salt_grains => ''5000000'', :people => ''5000000'', :days => nil, :created_at => "Mon Oct 01 00:02:44 -0400 2007", :enabled => true, :players => { }) 2: assign...

Rails model association collections allow you to do nifty things like: article.comments.find(:all, :conditions => {:created_at > 1.day.ago}) Has anyone found a good way to mock this up? I''m currently doing this: @comment1 = mock_model(Comment) comments = mock(Array) comments.stub!(:find).and_return([@comment1]) @article = mock_model(Article) @article.stub!(:comments).and_return(comments) I don''t like this, because of that intermediate ''comments'' object, whose only purpose is so that i can st...

Hi, I''m very new to rspec so please be patient with me. I''ve tried to take some of my tests out of the controller specs to check for things that are rendered. This has not worked so well, since my views have the controller method current_user in quite a few places. Is there any way that I can define this so that my views will be executed? Will this same thing occur for all

...struct and don''t have the time to refactor nicely right now. I''m just trying to get past the untested/un-speced cruft quickly to write the spec for my new code, so I''m looking for expediency over prettiness. I''m specifying before( :each ) do @order_address = mock_model( OrderAddress, :null_object => TRUE ) end but finding that unstubbed/unmocked method calls on @order_address still throw error messages like: Mock ''OrderAddress_1026'' received unexpected message :first_name with (no args) so I''m starting to wonder whether the :null_...

I am using mock_model in my tests, and I encountered a situation where my stub is failing. Here''s the scenario: Controller: @locations = Location.al(:bounds=>bounds)l @locations.sort_by_distance_from([bounds.center.lat,bounds.center.lng]) Rspec: @location = mock_model(Location) Location.stub(:...

Has anyone else run into a problem with trying to use mock_model in spec/lib ? For some reason, I can take the same spec, put it in spec/models, have it run fine, but put it in spec/lib, and have it complain about not being able to find #mock_model Thanks, Edward

What is the correct way to mock out the errors on a Rails model? I''m assuming i need to say @mock_thing = mock_model(Thing) @mock_thing_errors = mock("errors") @mock_thing_errors.should_receive(:full_messages).and_return("An error") @mock_thing.should_receive(:errors).and_return(@mock_thing_errors) Just wanted to check the best practice on this kind of thing and how other people handle it....

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

I''ve added a method to the mock class that makes it pretty easy to stub associations in rails. I''ve been using it for awhile and it seems to cut down on a lot of setup code for the controller and model specs that use associations. #before @person = mock_model(Person) posts = mock(''post_proxy'') posts.stub!(:build).and_return(mock_model(Post, :save => true)) @person.stub!(:posts).and_return(posts) # now @person = mock_model(Person) @person.stub_association!(:posts, :find_by_title => mock_model(Post)) Just add this to the spec h...

Hi -- I am just getting to grips w/ view specs, and am having an issue with mock_model not stubbing the mocked model''s attributes. For instance, I have the following: <CODE> before do @input_timesheet = mock_model( InputTimesheet ) assigns[:input_timesheet] = @input_timesheet end it "should display a table element" do render ''/input_timeshee...

Hi, I have two models in an app that inherit from ActiveResource::Base. The scaffold controller tests for one of the models works fine, but the other one dies when calling mock_model in the "handling GET /fa_codes" spec: Specifically, the call to mock model here: before do @fa_code = mock_model(FaCode) FaCode.stub!(:find).and_return([@fa_code]) end generates this failure: NameError in ''FaCodesController handling GET /fa_codes should assign the...

...I have specified the association as a dependent one. the only way I can think of is to use fixtures (or create real associations in the before callback) and then check that they have been deleted using Taggings.count(). Can it be done using mocks instead? describe Book do before do @book = mock_model(Book) @tagging = mock_model(Tagging) @book.stub!(:taggings).and_return([@tagging, @tagging]) end it "should delete associated taggings when destroyed" do end end thanks dave

You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.each On line...

I am wondering what is the best way to mock such expression: "comment.initiator.group.name" What I do now is: =========================== comment = mock_model(Comment) initiator = mock_model(User) group = mock_model(Group, :name => "Admin") initiator.stub!(:group).and_return(group) comment.stub!(:initiator).and_return(initiator) =========================== So it becomes quite complex when the length of the expression increases. Is it possi...
