Assuming your goal is to test the different branches of the "if errors.blank?" conditional, you could do something like this: ProductFileHandler.stub(:persist) do |_,_,errors| # add stuff to errors here # return a reasonable value for product_file_name here end When the ProductFileHandler class receives the persist message, it will now invoke this block with the three arguments it receives (user, product_data, errors). Make sense? This is pretty invasive but, given the current design, probably the simplest way to go. If you want something less invasive, you probably need to change the design.
