Hi all,

So my potentially crazy but I think good idea right now is to take the factory_girl gem and adapt it to generate stubbed models instead of actual ActiveRecord objects that get saved to the DB. My main reasoning there is that I like the syntax they've set up and some of the tools under the hood to deal with associations, etc, but I want to be disconnected from the database.

However, for mocking my ActiveRecord objects right now (in a rails project) I'm using mock_model from rspec-rails a lot, and I would love to use that in this code too. But I'm hitting a few walls including the methods into a separate class. So far I've got this:

class Factory

  include Spec::Mocks
  include Spec::Mocks::Methods
  include Spec::Rails::Mocks

  def create_stubbed(attrs = {})
    model = mock_model(build_class)
  end
....

I'm getting a method missing on the method "stub" however, so I feel like somehow I'm not including the right stuff, or maybe I should be extending some things, not quite sure. (And yes, that's the method "stub", not "stub!")

Any advice would be awesome, thanks!

Are you requiring "spec/mocks" or "spec/mocks/mock" (I forget which one it is, at the moment).

Try doing it through irb, requiring the appropriate spec/mocks*.rb file, and including the module.
