Your expectation (should_receive) is expecting "start_of_day", which uses Time.zone. The actual "on_day" scope does "day.to_time.beginning_of_day", which does not use any time zone. Therefore, the arguments to in_interval are not the same as the expectation. And because they are not the same, the mock does not get set. They must be exactly the same, since you are using a specific values.
You are not seeing a "the in_interval method was not called" expectation ouput message because of the "includes_values" error. This is because RSpec is comparing "result" with an array. This is because Rails scopes return arrays, not strings (it is not returning a string because the mock was never set). Are you setting the time zone in a before block? Here are two really nice gems for dealing with Time sensitive code: https://github.com/jtrupiano/timecop https://github.com/bebanjo/delorean On Feb 15, 9:35 am, Christoph Schiessl <c...@proactive.cc> wrote: > Hi! > > I'm trying to test the following (simplified) model: > > class Allocation < ActiveRecord::Base > scope :in_interval, (proc do |start_of_interval, end_of_interval| > params = {:s => start_of_interval, :e => end_of_interval} > where("(starts_at > :s AND starts_at < :e) OR (ends_at > :s AND ends_at < > :e) OR (starts_at <= :s AND ends_at >= :e)", params) > end) > > scope :on_day, (proc do |day| > day = day.to_time.beginning_of_day > in_interval(day, day + 1.day) > end) > > # validations and other scopes... > end > > I wrote a lot of specs for :in_interval - however testing :on_day is kind of > problem.
