Can't really help you if you're submitting code that is different from the code that is causing you trouble. Please be more careful about this. > Here is how the code > should have looked like > it "should find products given a category" do > product = mock_model(Product, :id => 1, :category_id => 1) > > Product.stub!(:find_all_by_category_id).with(anything()).and_return([product]) > > Product.should_receive(:find_all_meeting_some_criteria_for_category).with(product.category_id) > Product.find_all_meeting_some_criteria_for_category(product.category_id) > end OK - so here, the 2nd to last line sets an expectation that Product should receive : find_all_meeting_some_criteria_for_category with product.category_id, and then the last line makes that exact call. This means that none of your actual code is being executed here. Is that really what you have? > I have created a new application with only the above 2 models and the > rspec is working ok.
