Hi Scott,
Cool - I see what you're saying here. The only thing that I'm a bit
confused still is that it seems like, at least if your system is
starting to get larger, you'd really *want* your fast unit test to help
you catch API changes like this to help you make updates faster.

Having to run a suite of more expensive integration tests just to catch
API changes seems a little funny. But I guess I'm also hoping that
there's some way for the mocks to help with that sort of thing - it's my
understanding that some other frameworks out there help you with that
sort of stuff. One example mentioned to me was JMock -- granted, that's Java, but still - if it's possible in Java, Ruby should be able to do it
too. :P

Most certainly.

David, et. all:

Why don't we have a partial mock which will raise an error (or at least a warning) when stubbing an object who's class doesn't respond_to? the method given? I feel like this sort of simple dependency has been brought up 1000 times on the list before, but never been explicitly stated.

WDYT?

Scott
