I eventually ended up using this, from a somewhat-related post to this
list a couple months ago:
def assoc_mock(stubs = {})
proxy = mock('association_proxy')
stubs.each do |method, ret|
proxy.stub!(method).and_return(ret)
end
proxy
end
Then I can do something like I wanted:
@comment = mock_model(Comment)
@article = mock_model(Article, :comments => (@comment = assoc_mock(:find
=> [EMAIL PROTECTED])))
But this works just like the stub!(Foo, :method => return). I might keep
mine, though, its a little more explicit as to what the 'in-between'
collection is.
Thanks,
Paul
