+1 for me. I've found myself on occasion using should_not_receive(:some_message). OK, see a failing spec, make it pass, but what about when the collaborator method is renamed. All those should_not_receive expectations will still pass no matter what. It would be great to have object.should_receive(:nothing) instead. This would make life easier when collaborators are stubbed out with :as_null_object stubs. -lenny > Other ideas welcome. > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-users@rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
