[rspec-users] Testing return value of a block argument

[Yun Huang Yong]

Hi,

I'm using Log4r and one of its neat features is its handling of blocks 
such that you can do:
  log.debug { "Something bad happened" + some_expensive_method() }
instead of:
  log.debug("Something bad happened" + some_expensive_method())
The benefit of the former is that some_expensive_method() is not 
executed until the debug() method executes so if your log level doesn't 
include DEBUG you don't suffer the performance hit of calling 
some_expensive_method() needlessly.

Is there any way to test what the resultant log message is from 
evaluating the block?

i.e. something like:
  log_mock.should_receive(:debug) { |log_block|
    # execute log_block, and check its return value
  }

I have a simple bit of code to tinker with: http://gist.github.com/79820

Thanks in advance,
yun
