Sorry, before I wrote with errors the example (it's the problem if you
are remember without code at your face). This is the correct example
with the suggestions to fix the problem:

#foo.rb
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :bar

  def foo
    self.bar.count -= 1
  end
end

#foo_spec.rb
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper')

describe Foo do
  before(:each) do
    @bar = stub_model(Bar, :count => 1)
    @foo = Foo.new(:bar => @bar)
    @before_value = @foo.bar
  end

  it "should decrement bar.count in 1" do
    @foo.foo
    @foo.bar.count.should be_equal(@value_before - 1)
  end
end

#bar.rb
class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base
end

And now, I got this error:
1)
NoMethodError in 'Foo should decrement bar.count in 1'
undefined method `count=' for #<Bar id: 1001, created_at: nil,
updated_at: nil>

`foo'
/home/carlos/NetBeansProjects/RailsApplication1/spec/models/ foo_spec.rb:11:

What it's wrong? Can I make this type of test with mock or stub?

You're expecting the Bar class to implement an interface which supports you calling count -= 1 on it.

Have you checked (for example, using script/console) that Bar does indeed offer this method? The error indicates that it doesn't, and from the code you've shown us I'd be surprised if it did - it's not something you can do to normal ActiveRecord objects - you'd have to destroy a particular instance, for example, for the result of count to go down.

I think it might be easier for us if you can show us an example that's closer to what you're actually trying to do.

cheers,
Matt
