I have a Premise model with lots of validations and somewhat complex callbacks. I've already written tests for those (and they pass).
I also have a MeteredService model for which premise :has_many metered_services and (of course) metered_service :belongs_to premise. Testing MeteredService doesn't require a real Premise -- all it needs is a premise_id -- so for my MeteredService tests I tried a simple mock like: premise = double("premise", :id => 1) But this fails with: Failure/Error: MeteredService.create(:premise => @premise) ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch: Premise(#2202729700) expected, got RSpec::Mocks::Mock(#2154067120) I *really* don't want to create a real Premise object unless there's a way to inhibit all the validations and callbacks. (FWIW, I use FactoryGirl for other test, but it evidently triggers validations and callbacks just like an ordinary .create()) What are my options? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
