Hi I run into problem trying to set expectations for the mockobject.class method, I had to undefine a method before I could set some expectation. Is there any better way of doing it? object = mock() .... klass = class <<object; self; end klass.send(:undef_method, "class") # I had to do this because Mocha utilizes "method_missing(symbol, *arguments, &block) "

I have a model class, say, model.rb, and in the normal course of things it creates an instance of another class, say utility.rb (also in the models directory). class Utility def initialize(obj) # do stuff... end def do_something_expensive # lots of stuff here end end During testing, I want to mock out do_something_expensive because it''s not important for the tests,

Hello, I recently made a feature request with a patch for terser mocks. http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=10412&group_id=1917&atid=7480 Here are some examples with their current equivalents: the_mock.expects.foo(1,2) {|a, b| :bar} the_mock.expects.foo(1,2).returns(:bar) the_mock.expects(:foo).with(1,2) {|a, b| :bar} the_mock.expects(:foo).with(1,2).returns(:bar)

Is it possible for me to use Mock objects in manual testing? They work great for functional testing, but now I need to load the pages and play around with some stuff, but of course I cant load them because there are a number of classes without implementations, which I want to just mock out. Any ideas? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Find the home of your dreams

I''ve just started doing TDD/BDD and like the idea of mocks. So I set out to use them. The doc pages seem great, I setup the mock and then it just works. Here is what I am trying to do: Myuser is a non-rails model of user attributes. We are going to be mocking the connection to the ldap server. The user class has a login method that connects to the ldap server and if successful,

Hi, What's the purpose of test/mocks? I couldn't quite complete the Wiki entry on this because all the information I _could_ find was in the readme. - Rowan -- Morality is usually taught by the immoral. _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Hey all, Here''s a question for everyone: how do you keep your mocks and stubs consistent with your real objects? I''m dipping my toes into the RSpec world, and it''s absolutely delightful (running dozens of tests in less than a second is nice as well), but I''m concerned about my ability to keep the mocks in my specs consistent with the behavior of their

I''m having a terrible time trying to test a nested route with rSpec. I can''t seem to tell rSpec to expect the call @item.user. The following error message plagues me not matter how I try to fuss with the mock: Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''ItemsController handling POST / items should redirect to the new course on successful save'' Mock

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 all I have the following code in a spec: @user = mock("user") User.stub!(:authenticate).and_return(@user) @user.should_receive(:id).once.and_return(99) post :login, {:username => ''username'', :password => ''password''} session[:user_id].should == 99 it works as expected but I get the following warning when I run the spec: warning:

Hi! I know you must be answering a lot of basic questions, sorry about that :-) However I have not get it, how do you keep mocks updated without pain? I reached to the point where mocking things for view. I spec model-controller-view using "correct doc" way mocking-stubbing (plus I should run integration test to be sure that everything really works together). Now, when I want to

A colleague just came in and asked me about a problem he was having with stub_render, which reminded me of another issue he had a week or so ago, which seems related. Let me start with the earlier issue. He was trying to write specs for a method which sends the same message possibly multiple times, but with different arguments under different calling conditions. He wanted to write

I spent the last couple of days getting my sea legs with Rails and RSpec. I''d been waiting til things seemed calmer before jumping in, and I''m overall very happy with my experience so far. My only real annoyance so far has been forgetting to call "do_post" or "do_create" from my specify blocks. My mocks don''t get the calls they want, and it usually

Is there any documentation about how mock objects work in RoR, specifically exactly how one should use the test/mocks directory. Is it just me being incompetent searching for it, or hasn''t this been documented yet? Thanks in advance for your help! paul.butcher->msgCount++ Snetterton, Castle Combe, Cadwell Park...

I wrote a simple summary of Mocks with RSpec as an answer to a discussion on our local Ruby users group. I was wondering if people here could review it, adding comments for any corrections or other important ideas regarding mocks and RSpec. You can find the article here: http://blog.showcase60.com/2007/12/13/rspec-mocks Thanks

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

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!

Anyone ever uses test/mocks/development && test/mocks/test directories ? If someone does, test/mocks/development doesn''t really seem like a nice place for putting development environment mocked classes. May be mocks/ should be moved to RAILS_ROOT ? Or may be it should be removed. Views ? -- Cheers! - Pratik http://m.onkey.org

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 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
