similar to: Insure a method is called with no arguments.

I''d like to create expectations on just portions of the arguments a function takes. For example, I want to verify that the a certain ActiveRecord association extension adds an order clause to the find options hash. Currently I simply check the entire argument structure, something like this def test_referring_journals_should_order_by_citation_count article =

We''re encountering a failure with Mocha 0.5.6. We had this expectation: game_version.expects(:attributes=).with(:game_file => kind_of(GameFile), :game_id => @game.id) This expectation was passing with 0.5.5, but fails with 0.5.6. I added this test to parameter_matcher_acceptance_test.rb, which passes in 0.5.5 and fails in 0.5.6 def test_should_match_nested_parameters

I was reading through the FlexMock docs and noticed the expectation method .mock, which returns the original mock associated with an expectation. It looks really handy for writing nice all-in-one mocks like: mock_user = mock(''User'').expects(:first_name).returns(''Jonah'').mock So I started playing around with mocha and found I could actually already do this!

A number of people have had difficulties subscribing and/or sending messages to the existing mailing list. Also I have to spend quite a bit of time moderating spam and the mailman interface is pretty clunky. So I was contemplating setting a Google Group up instead. Does anyone have any objections? -- James. http://blog.floehopper.org http://tumble.floehopper.org

I''ve just been tying my brain in knots looking at bug #8687 ( http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=8687&group_id=1917&atid=7477 ). I''ve been (1) trying to work out whether there is anything logically wrong with Mocha''s existing behaviour and (2) whether Mocha should support the requested functionality. It all centres around the use of the

I really like the idea of Mock Proxies as explained in Brian Takita''s post here: http://pivots.pivotallabs.com/users/brian/blog/articles/352-introducing-rr I posted to this list eariler with an incomplete implementation of .stops_mocking in the thread "Mocking Time, delegating to original object." The Mock Proxy pattern would make this simpler.

Hi, Are there any docs for combining parameter matchers, or some way to define optional parameters? I''m trying to match something like: .find( 42 ) || .find( 42, {:conditions=>nil,:includes=>nil} ) Or for that matter, 42 followed by nothing or anything... Halp? I''ve tried different nested combos with any_of/all_of/anything, but getting lost trying. --Andrew

How can I safely mock a singleton without the mocked method living on outside the scope of the test method? I''ve run into this problem with mocking methods on globals (gasp!) in the past by doing something like def mock_my_global original = $my_global $my_global.expects(:foo).returns(''bar'') yield $my_global = original end Is there something similar I

I''m writing a test where I only care about one of the parameters being sent to the method, does anyone think having a way to say that any value for a parameter which I don''t care about is valid? I''m thinking something like: def test_charge_is_for_10_bucks gateway = test_gateway member = Member.new member.credit_card_number = "1"

We''re using Mocha stubs to stub out a slow-performing network request in a Test::Unit class. But naturally, we don''t want to stub it out in the few tests that actually verify the functionality of that network request. Is there a way to do the stub in "setup", but override it for the few tests that need the original functionality? (I realize that in this case, the

Has anybody been using Mocha trunk over the last month or two? I''ve done quite a bit of internal refactoring and wondered whether anyone had any problems. There are also a bunch of new features e.g. states, sequences, extra parameter matchers & configurable warnings, but these are not documented in the on-line rdoc. I wondered if anyone has been looking at the rdoc in trunk and

Folks- With Rails 2.0.2, I''m seeing mocha failures where they did not fail with Rails 2.0.1 test_set_to_process_fail_in_transaction(FileRecordTest): NoMethodError: undefined method `ord'' for 63:Fixnum /home/wolpert/svn/rubylms/vendor/plugins/mocha/lib/mocha/class_method.rb:45:in `hidden_method''

Hi I''m using Mocha 0.5.3 and I want to stub out a call to Time.now, just like the example in the post http://blog.floehopper.org/articles/2007/06/08/mocha-0-5-released However, trying it in irb gets me the following error: >> require ''mocha'' => true >> Time.stubs(:now).returns(Time.parse(''Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 UTC 2007'')) NoMethodError:

Hello James et al. I try to set only one expectation per test, but I also dislike having extra stub declarations that are no longer used, thus I often find myself wanting Object.expects(:foo).at_least_once. That works, but I don''t actually "expect" foo to be called, in fact, I don''t care, I only want to know when it isn''t called so I can remember to

Did any further discussion ever come of this? I take it is officially not supported currently? I just get an odd error when I try it (it throws a "0 expected 1 received", no matter what stubbing/expectation combo I use), so came looking around on google, and finally the mailinglist. Here''s my stripped down example: http://pastie.caboo.se/145603 (it fails with expects too)

Hi, Is there or could there be any way to test that a method calls "super"? Thanks -- Jonathan Leighton, Web Developer http://jonathanleighton.com/

When I try to execute the following example, I get an error message: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mocha-0.5.4/lib/mocha/object.rb:40: in `expects'': undefined method `stub'' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from test8.rb:5 What could be the reason? I tried with the latest Mocha Ruby gem, and I also tried it with the Rails plugin. The example: require

It would be good to be able to set the return value to be the same as the return value of the block. I am trying to test opening a file in a block and reading from it. It would be nice to use code like this: object.stubs(:open).with("/path/to/file", "r").yields( stub(:read => "The file contents") ).returns(from_block) Which would make open() take the return
