Ok, and regarding mocking-- Something that is still very unclear to me is how can I affect instance variables through mocking? If I do: def master_method @foo = "foo" slave_method end def slave_method @foo end .. it "should be foo" do foo = mock_model(Foo) foo.slave_method.should == "foo" end ... This will be false because @foo is set in the msater method which I am bypassing because I just want to test the slave method. So how can I set an instance variabel within my spec so that @foo will be properly set? Should I use setter/getter methods in this case?? def master_method foo = "foo" slave_method end def slave_method foo end def foo=(new_foo) @foo = new_foo end def foo @foo end ......... ? Is that the way to go??? Patrick J.
