Suppose a User has many Items, and I want to spec that when a user is
destroyed its associated items are destroyed. I'm seeing some unexpected
behavior:
describe User do
before(:each) do
@user = create_user # helper method that actually creates & saves a
user
@item = create_item
@user.items << @item
end
# THIS WORKS
it "should delete associated items when a user is destroyed" do
@item.should == @user.items[0]
@user.items[0].should_receive(:destroy)
@user.destroy
end
# THIS FAILS
it "should delete associated items when a user is destroyed" do
@item.should_receive(:destroy)
@user.destroy
end
end
Why does the message expectation fail on @item but succeed on
@user.items[0], even though @user.items[0] == @item ?
Thanks...
