Hello :) I have a problem with the Net::HTTP library... The Net::HTTP library [1] uses a Net::HTTPResponse object for all it''s responses from web servers. This class has many subclasses, such as HTTPSuccess, HTTPRedirecttion, etc. When obtaining a response, the library suggests to check what it is by testing the class of the returned object - using case/when or kind_of? (which it does

Hi folks. I''ve just started using rspec and I have to say it''s very nice. The thing is, I prefer mocha''s mocking dialect. So I thought a simple require ''mocha'' would set me up. Unfortunately, rspec does all its goodness using do/end blocks in anonymous classes, so it wasn''t quite that obvious. Anyway, here is the incantation I ended up

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!

I prefer to use rspec than test::unit for developing my apps. However I''ve found its mocking library to be pretty inflexible compared to Mocha. This isn''t really a surprise since rspec isn''t intended as a mocking framework, whereas Mocha is. So I''d like to play to both of their strengths and use rspec as my testing/specification framework and Mocha do to

Hi :) Does anyone know of a way to set the value of $? ? I have a test which stubs ` ; the call works fine, but then the library I am testing checks the value of $? to see if the process terminated correctly. It seems not to be possible to assign $? directly... For now I do this before my test : `ls > /dev/null` Which ensure that $? is zero ; but this is not a very nice way of doing it !

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, I''ve been reading with interest the threads trying to integrate Mocha and Stubba with RSpec. So far, I''ve made the two changes in spec_helper.rb suggested, but discovered another one that neither of the archives mentions: If you use traditional mocking: object = mock or the stub shortcut : object = stub(:method => :result), you run into namespace conflicts with

Just curious - now that rspec (as of 0.9) let''s you choose your mock framework, how many of you are actually using (or planning to use) mocha or flexmock? Anybody planning to use any other mock framework besides rspec, mocha or flexmock? Thanks, David

Hello, I have a question regarding the use of Mocha with rSpec to spec one of my methods. My spec contains the following vehical1 = mock() vehical2 = mock() vehical1.stubs(:mph).returns(150) vehical2.stubs(:mph).returns(250) comparer.add_vehical([@vehical1, @vehical2]) comparer.sort_by(:mph) The comparer is an object that has a basic "stack like" functionality, add_vehical is the

I happened to mix ryan bates'' authentication scaffold with rspec_scaffold on a demo project. and ran into the problem of mixing mock frameworks...ryan uses mocha. So, as a learning experience, I choose to redo ryan''s tests without mocha but ran into a strange problem with tests of the User model. With debugging you can see.... If you run just the user_spec.rb file, everything

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

I''ve always wanted to be able to do stuff like this in my functional tests c = customers(:customer_1) c.expects(:great_customer_service) post :service_customer, :id => c.id This of course fails because inside the rails action a different instance of customer is used. Some of the time setting your expectation/stubbing on Customer.any_instance works, but it''s not

Hi, (Mocha and Stubba are great, btw.) Is there any way to alias the call to .type in Mocha? The issue is that AR effectively aliases the normal type method for the Column class (for whatever Adapter.) My code is reflecting on the adapter methods to iterate over the columns in a particular model. This makes it hard to write test code that stubs out columns and mocks my models. E.g. cols =

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 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

First of all, please direct me into how better to search existing threads in this mailing list. Ok to my rspec 2.0.1 mocha 0.9.8 issue: given a controller test before do subject.expects(:authenticate).once end it "should bla bla" do pending "PENDING, shouldn''t fail?" end with config.mock_with :rspec it''s ok: pending, but with

Hi, I''m pretty new to Rspec, so hope someone can help me out with this. I''m leveraging a couple pre-existing applications in my current project, both have fairly robust test suites in Rspec already. However, one is using Rspec''s builit in mocking, and the other is using mocha. If I set config.mock_with mocha in spec_helper.rb, then all of the rspec mocks fail. If I
