I find myself doing this kind of thing a lot in Controller Specs:

     @vacancy = mock_model(Vacancy)
     @vacancy.stub!(:reference)
     @vacancy.stub!(:title)
     @vacancy.stub!(:created_at)
     @vacancy.stub!(:updated_at)
     @vacancy.stub!(:body)
     @vacancy.stub!(:contract)
     @vacancy.stub!(:location)
     @vacancy.stub!(:salary)
     @vacancy.stub!(:benefits)
     @vacancy.stub!(:start_date)
     @vacancy.stub!(:duration)

I have to stub each of these methods so that the form renders correctly (as I am using integrate_views). This just feels *way* too much code and
effort to do this. I have a spec for one controller (which just does
plain old CRUD) that is over 300 LOC -- this seems a bit nuts to me when
the controller is only 50 LOC.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to avoid this or perhaps I am
doing something wrong!?

Use stub_model instead (if you're using source from github - if not the 1.4 release is coming soon).



I make use of a Factory pattern to create instances for my model unit
tests -- could I use a similar pattern for a 'mock factory'? Is anybody
doing anything similar?
