I wish to test a small library that I have written. The module resides in a file in ./lib. It is loaded in the application via a a file in ./config/initializers that contains the following code:
> require 'hll_audit_stamps' > ActiveRecord::Base > include ActiveRecord::HLLAuditStamps > end My questions are really procedural in nature. What do I put at the top of my spec file to load an ActiveRecord instance containing the custom module? Or, do I put the code given above into spec_helper.rb? I am really only interested in the actions of the module so I would like to create a test model instance (Mytable) inside the spec rather than create a dummy model in app/models. How do you do this without connecting to an underlying database? I am unfamiliar with mocks, although this seems to be the case for one. Nonetheless, am am uncertain how a mock would inherit the necessary characteristics from the module that I am testing? I would appreciate guidance here.
