Hi all, Initially I thought this was a bug in the built-in mocking framework(and it still may be), but I better hash it out on the mailing list before I file/reopen the ticket: http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/478-mocks-on-constants#ticket-478-6 I thought my example illustrated my problem, but obviously I was passing the wrong arguments to the mock. I revised my example to

How would you spec out something like the following: def a_method x = Class.new do include Enumerable end # do something here with x end describe "The Anonymous Class" do before :each do @anonymous_class = mock Class Class.stub!(:new).and_return @anonymous_class end it "should create a new anonymous class" do

I don''t like this: i = mock(Integer) i.should_receive(:asdfasdf).and_return(''foo'') puts i.asdfasdf Shouldn''t rspec check to see that :asdfasdf is a valid message to be sending Integer? Joe

What is the appropriate way to stub out (and put an expectation on Object#__send__), without getting warnings from the Rspec mock library? Scott

What is the difference between these two ways of mocking (with and without the string): mock(''Object'') and mock(Object) ? Scott

I have something like the following: def my_fun my_fun2 do raise Error end end I know that I can verify that the method receives my_fun2. How can I mock/stub out the example to verify that it calls raise Error? Scott

I''ve notice that a project like Rubinius has both a spec & a test directory. Rspec has only a spec directory. Obviously I support BDD, but isn''t there also a place for state based/verification testing? I sometimes sense that I *do* want to practice Test Driven Development. That is, I want some assurance that my production code will run as intended. But I also

Mocha''s mock/stub framework has the ability to stub all methods on a mock given. Does RSpec''s mocking framework have this ability? And if not, is there some reason it shouldn''t be implemeneted? Regards, Scott

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

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

There is one annoyance I''m encountering with the Mock API in rSpec. Overall it works well, as far as dynamic mocks go ;)... but there''s this one thing... It doesn''t allow overriding of expectations. example: m = mock("blah") m.should_receive(:one).any_number_of_times().and_return(1) m.should_receive(:one).and_return(1) The second call to should_receive

I have the following statement mock_requester.should_receive(:request_with).with ("x").any_number_of_times.and_return(@object) which works fine, but when i do it backwards, which makes the same amount of sense syntactically, it fails mock_requester.should_receive(:request_with).with("x").and_return (@object).any_number_of_times are all of the mock options

I am setting up an AR mock object and wanted to sanity check it. My intent is to mix this into all my examples and then override/add methods where necessary. Note that I''ve anticipated three cases for find: find with one numeric argument => object find with :all => Array find with anything else => nil This roughly approximates how ActiveRecord::find works in this case

I''m having a problems mocking successive return values. I don''t know if I''m doing something wrong or if this is a limitation of rspec mocks. Any ideas of what I may be doing wrong? I''m trying to test the generate_quote_number method. It generates a quote number, looks to see if it is in the db already. If it is, it calls itself to try again. I want

Hi, I''m pretty new to all related to bdd and rspec and I have the following question. Is it possible to stub actions that return different objects depending on the parameteres they were called with? Something like this: MyClass.stub!(:method).with(1).and_return(@mock_object_1) MyClass.stub!(:method).with(2).and_return(@mock_object_2) I know I could use

I saw in one of Dave C.''s comments to a ticket that "our current plan is to deprecate the mocking framework." I hadn''t heard anything about that, but then again I haven''t paid super close attention to the list. Are we planning on dumping the mock framework in favor of using Mocha (or any other framework one might want to plug in?). Pat

Is there any reason why a stub couldn''t both yield and return? I''m looking for a way to mock out a class I''ve made named "AnonymousClass": class AnonymousClass def initialize(&blk) @klass = Class.new @klass.instance_eval(&blk) if block_given? end def new @klass.new end def evaluate(&blk)

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)

My app uses account_location to set up subdomains as account keys. In my controllers, all my model operations are scoped through the @current_person object. The question is: How do I test this with RSpec''s mocking and stubbing? Basically, I need to test that @current_person.things is getting the find message and returning @thing. I''ve tried stubbing and mocking
