I know we are suppose to keep specs obvious and readable, but is it
normal (or there any opposition) to stubbing every method call that
you needed in a before block and simply over-riding the same method
with a should_receive in the actual tested it()?
Example
describe "#create" do
it "should find a user"
@user = mock_model(User)
User.should_receive(:find).and_return @user
@posts = []
@post = mock_model(Post)
@posts.stub(:build).and_return @post
post "create"
end
it "should build a post from that user" do
@user = mock_model(User)
User.stub(:find).and_return @user
@posts = []
@post = mock_model(Post)
@posts.should_receive(:build).and_return @post
post "create"
end
end
... would become ..
describe "#create" do
before do
@user = mock_model(User)
User.stub(:find).and_return @user
@posts = []
@post = mock_model(Post)
@posts.stub(:build).and_return @post
end
it "should find a user"
User.should_receive(:find).and_return @user
post "create"
end
it "should build a post from that user" do
@posts.should_receive(:build).and_return @post
post "create"
end
end
Note that I stubbed both method calls in the before, but only
should_require'd them in the appropriate it()?
Let me know if that's good practice
