Occasionally, I find myself in a situation where I want to have a mock
obj returned if a method is called with a particular argument but
handled normally otherwise. For example, lets say I have a Model
named User and I am specing a controller that sends messages from one
user to another. When User.find is called for the user who is making
the request I want it to run normally but when User.find is called for
the receiver I want it to return a mocked obj. In this case, I can do
something like (http://gist.github.com/352305):
user = mock_model(User)
User.stub!(:find).at_least(1).and_return do |id|
if id == mock_user.id.to_s
user
else
User.find_by_id(id)
end
end
If I didn't have another method that allowed me to find a User by it's
id this won't work.
Is there an easier way to accomplish this?
