Hi Andrea,

I generally put stub! calls in the before block and then have the mock expectation in the example block.

Hi all,

consider a class Foo that send, in its constructor, some message to an object of class Bar:

class Foo
def initialize(bar)
  @bar = bar
  @bar.some_message
end

...

end

Now, in order to test Foo, I'd like to decouple it from Bar mocking bar object, so:

describe Foo do

before do
  @bar = mock('bar')
  @bar.should_receive(:some_message)
  @foo = Foo.new(bar)
end

it 'should ...'
it 'should ...'

...

end

The question is: is it appropriate to put a mock expectation inside a before block? Or mock expectations are relegated to example blocks?

Thanks in advance.
Andrea

Thank you for your answer Matt. I think I've cought the point.

Stub methods return canned responses so they are not intended to underline interactions between the mock object and the object under testing.

Thank you again.
Andrea
