Hi, I'm writing a gem that enumerates the files within a specified directory and sub-directories. It's a module that has a single class method that returns an array containing the file names, but that array will also contain elements that represent metadata about the files. For example, one element will be a hash that's computed from the contents of each file, so that if a file is changed a different hash will be returned.
I'm pretty new to RSpec and the thing I am struggling with is how to mock or stub not only the files, but also their contents. I know that the implementation will use Find.find, but I don't want to give it a real directory of fixture files for the specs to use because then how will I change the contents of a file to test that a different hash is returned? These are the pending examples I have so far: it "should return a list of files within the specified directory" it "should compute a hash of the files within the specified directory" it "should compute a different hash if the content of a file changes" it "shouldn't include hidden files or directories within the specified directory" Any help would be greatly appreciated!
