I use geocoding in our app, and it permeates most of the core functionality.
Because it makes a call out to Google or Yahoo or what not to do the
geocoding, I'd like to mock this for the bulk of my tests, except for the
few tests that actually do stuff where they need the real data. I had
started wrapping all my specs with the equivalent (but a DRY form) of:
GeoInfo = Struct.new(:lat, :lng, :success)
describe "with fake geocoding" do
before(:all) do
fake_geocode = GeoInfo.new(123.456, 789.012, true)
GeoKit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.stub!(:geocode).and_return(fake_geocode)
end
# bulk of tests are here
end
describe ... #other tests that want real geocoding here
But, that just seems like a poor way to do it. I'm wondering, how can I
make GeoKit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder fake by default, and then in the few
cases where I want it to be real, "un-stub" it or whatever you'd call it?
