hi,
this did the trick:
class Shell
def self.sh command
%{ command }
end
end
then I am able to:
it "should be mock alright" do
Shell.should_receive(...).with(...)
end
is that correct so?
sorry aboout latter one (gotta do something about that hotkeys sendind my
mails all of a sudden)
thanks guys
joaquin
