Hey guys,
I'll try to explain this without the model code at first, since there is so
much, but if need be, I'll pastie it.
I have an Order model that makes API calls to a payment
gateway(TrustCommerce) during validation(to verify the credit card
information). I'd like to stub this behavior to avoid thousands of calls to
TrustCommerce a day(autotest).
All the calls are made in one method: Order#payment_authorize. This is
called from ActiveRecord#validate.
So, my thinking was just to stub out Order#payment_authorize. So here is one
of my specs:
describe Order, "placed via the web" do
include OrderSpecHelper
before(:each) do
@order = generate_valid_web_order
@order.should_receive(:payment_authorize)
end
it do
@order.should be_valid
end
end
I'm using a mock for now, just to verify it does get called, once it's
working I'll change it to a stub. (I want to explicitly test it on another
spec)
Anyhow, this doesn't work, but sure enough, the calls out to TrustCommerce
are being made. I also tried this:
describe Order, "placed via the web" do
include OrderSpecHelper
before(:each) do
@order = generate_valid_web_order
Order.should_receive(:payment_authorize)
end
it do
@order.should be_valid
end
end
However, this didn't work either. Just for clarity, this is how it's being
called in the model:
validate :payment_authorize
How can I stub this method?
Thanks,
Matt Lins
