hello there,
how do you tipically spec private methods? The thing is Ï have
something like this:
You have a few options:
1. Make the method public in the object you are testing
2. Make the method public in the test case
3. Don't test the method
4. Use __send__ or (send) to call it.
5. Refactor private methods to a new object, and make the methods
public in that object.
Most of those options suck (esp. 1, 2, 3, & 4) - usually it
represents a design flaw (you are doing too much in your class).
Yup. Sprout class[1] works for me, every single time.
