Thanks Matt. Very helpful. I have tried out stub_model. The constructor of one of my models (Namespace) requires a mandatory :name attribute to be provided. So when I try to stub_model it - e.g. representative_namespace = stub_model(Namespace) - I get the following spec error.
1) RuntimeError in 'ContextsController POST create authenticated user should assign a representative namespace to the new context' A namespace must be assigned a valid name /Users/leelon/work/cbox/app/models/namespace.rb:696:in `raise_no_name_error' /Users/leelon/work/cbox/app/models/namespace.rb:688:in `get_processed_name' /Users/leelon/work/cbox/app/models/namespace.rb:643:in `set_name' /Users/leelon/work/cbox/app/models/namespace.rb:64:in `initialize' ./spec/controllers/contexts_controller_spec.rb:37: script/spec:10: Is there a way around this while still making :name a mandatory requirement of the constructor? I have tried stubbing out :name in the call to stub_model but this doesn't help: representative_namespace = stub_model(Namespace, :name => 'A name') Thanks. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
