similar to: Mock objects for stubbing out Paypal - anyone have any???

Hi guys, I''ve just been reading Martin Fowler''s article re mock versus stubbing<http://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html>where he compares traditional TDD testing techniques with mock based testing. I''d be interested in comments from a ruby on rails perspective in terms of this and Mocha? For example: a) Do you see Mocha as a robust way to test Ruby

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has already developed a mocking approach to stub out the Paypal interface so that one can test on an internal PC which doesn''t provide a means for PayPal to callback to your webserver? (i.e. once the app is deployed to the hosting provider it would then work as PayPal could then hit the application with the specified URL). Anyone already solved this? What

Hi guys, Would you mind if I ask how Flex Mock and Mocha sit together? They compete directly? I read that Flex Mock was built into Rails 1.2. Is there a reason to use Mocha instead of Flex Mock? Tks Greg

Hi, I''m new to mocha and stubba but eager to learn. I have a rails functional test in which I would like to stub an instance method of particular class to always return true. I tried the following: def test_post_checkout Order.any_instance.stubs(:successful?).returns(true) post :checkout assert_response :redirect assert_equal "Checkout was successful.",

Hi guys. Quite happy with mocha for testing. It''s been a bit of an eye opener for me, and I expect to begin using it heavily. One other thing I''d like to do is stub out particular class methods in development. Is there a way I can do this with mocha? Jason

Anyone know how to stub Kernel#open? I''m trying to mock/stub an open-uri call, but it doesn''t seem to like it. Here''s the test code, and the failures: body = File.open(File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../fixtures/google_search_california.html'').read

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 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!

Hello, First, thanks for releasing Mocha. As someone who''s been practicing TDD much longer than I''ve been using Rails, one of my biggest complaints has always been the fact that the "Unit" tests are more like intefration tests because of how tightly coupled the domain model is when using ActiveRecord. Stubba looks like it could really help aleviate this problem. The

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

While running tests, we would like to instrument some of the classes under test. We still want the classes to do exactly what they currently do, but we would like them to do more when running in the test environment. Clearly we can (and currently do) just extend the objects "on the fly" where necessary, but this is a bit messy - we''d like some centralised way to always

I have seen some basic examples of using Mocha and Stubba with ActiveRecord Models; However, the ones I read were somewhat simplistic. That is they stubbed the find class method of the model, or the execute method of the connection object. While stubbing the find method had the desired effect for the author it did not help with a situation I was hacking away on. Which was writing a test case

Hi guys, I''m running mocha (0.3.2) against Rails core and just found an issue where the mock doesn''t go away after the test is run. For example: def test_reset_bang_doesn_reinstall_named_routes ActionController::Routing::Routes.named_routes.expects(:install).never @session.reset! end def test_zzz puts ActionController::Routing::Routes.named_routes.inspect

Hi James, Jim, and everyone else who''s listening. I''ve been investigating an interesting bug related to mocks and rails AssociationProxies. See http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=3149&aid=12547&group_id=797 for details. The crux is that if you do this (rspec mock syntax): obj.should_receive(:msg).with(mock_of_a_model) and the implementation does

Seems like I do a fair amount of mocking ActiveRecord''s automatically generated routines when I''m testing controllers. Things like: @portalspace = PortalSpace.new :public_readable => true, :public_writable => true, :name => ''public'' @portalspace.stubs(:id).returns(203) PortalSpace.stubs(:find).with(203).returns(@portalspace)

In most of my tests I''d like to be able to stub out the observers for my models, but I''m not sure the best way to do this. I doesn''t look like there is a way to stub all instance methods, and I don''t seem to be able to stub early enough to stub out the observer as it''s instantiated. I can think of several hackish ways to get around it, but I was

I''m getting into RSpec more after getting the awesome Peepcode screencast about it. So far I love it, but coming form Test::Unit with Rails, I have some concerns about the recommendation to mock models and database calls in controller and view specs. Lets say you have a method on your User model called User.find_activated, and you have models specs for it. Then in your controller specs

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 =
