I see. I had gotten to trying the first way you suggested (haven't
tried the second yet):
it "should assign an image to the work" do
@work.should_receive(:image=).with(@image)
end
but I got the following error:
should assign an image to the work
Mock 'Work_1002' expected :image= with (#<Image:0x19e8094
@name="Image_1001">) once, but received it 0 times
though in the actual controller @work does receive it:
def create
@work = @category.works.build(params[:work])
@image = Image.new(params[:image])
@work.image = @image
respond_to do |format|
if @image.save and @work.save
flash[:notice] = 'Work was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to admin_category_work_path(@category,@work) }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
end
end
end
I'm sure I'm missing something here...
