Hi, I've answered my own question. I changed before :all do; to just before do (which is the same as before :each do) and everything works fine. I'm not overly concerned that stubbing has to occur prior to each example method, but why is this the case? If this behaviour is intended (which I'm guessing it is), then perhaps this should make its way into the docs?

Hi, I'm trying to stub File.open and whenever I do, rspec blows up with the following error message (undefined method `add' for nil:NilClass), which seems to happen because method __add in class Proxy is calling #add on global $rspec_mocks, which in turn is nil. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong, as I can't seem to stub anything out! Here's my code: class Foo def Foo.open( name, mode ) return name end end describe Something, 'blah blah' do class FooDouble #:nodoc: attr_reader :data def initialize @data = [] end def method_missing( name, *args ) puts "ignoring call to #{name} with args [#{args.each |arg| arg.inspect}]" end def <<(raw_data) @data.push raw_data end end before :all do Foo.stub!( :open ).and_return( FooDouble.new ) #have also tried and_return { FooDouble.new } end ... end _______________________________________________ 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
