You probably want @order.stub!(:payment_authorize) - should_receive
is an assertion. It doesn't belong in a before(:each)/setup block.
If you want to test that the payment_authorize is called, you'll want
to pull the assertion that you gave below into your spec:
describe Order, "placed via the web" do
include OrderSpecHelper
before(:each) do
@order = generate_valid_web_order
@order.stub!(:payment_authorize).and_return true
end
it "should try to authorize the payment when validating the
record" do
@order.should_receive(:payment_authorize).and_return true
@order.should be_valid
end
end
