I am using mock_model in my tests, and I encountered a situation where my stub is failing. Here's the scenario:
Controller: @locations = Location.al(:bounds=>bounds)l @locations.sort_by_distance_from([bounds.center.lat,bounds.center.lng]) Rspec: @location = mock_model(Location) Location.stub(:all).and_return([@location]) @location.stub!(:sort_by_distance_from).and_return([@location]) Within real model: Location act_as_mappable .... the :sort_by_distance_from is a method from within act_as_mappable. Upon investigation, when I compare the available methods for both the Location model and the mock_model, I found act_as_mappable is missing from the mock_model. Which accounts for why it was failing in the stub @location.stub!(:sort_by_distance_from). It gives an error "unexpected message :distance_to" and the :distance_to method comes from act_as_mappable. When I switch to using Factory for the @location instance, the test passed. How should I go about using the mock_model for a situation as this, without resorting to using Factory? I believe this issue also the same for other act_as_ situations because I also noted that a number of my act_as.. are not available in the mock_model as they are in the actual model. Thanks for the help Steve
