Before writing specs for a one-to-many relationship between two
models, I did some research and found that some people were creating
proxy mocks, and others were using Matthew Heidemann's
#stub_association! (which essentially does that for, but in a nice,
DRY way):
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/126993
Are those two methods currently the accepted "best practice" for
mocking and stubbing calls such like these?:
@properties = @user.properties
@property = @user.properties.new
@property = @user.properties.find_by_id params[:id]
There's also Luke Redpath's Demeter's Revenge plugin (http://www.lukeredpath.co.uk/2007/10/18/demeters-revenge
or git cloned to http://github.com/caius/demeters_revenge/tree/
master).
This means you have to change your implementation code as well, but
lets you write:
@properties = @user.properties
@property = @user.build_property # or @user.create_property
@found_properties = @user.find_properties(:conditions => { :some
=> :values })
@user.has_no_properties? # @user.properties.empty?
@user.has_properties? # [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and a few others.
Of course, this also makes it very easy to stub the methods for each
association.
