Thanks for your suggestion Justin, but I don't believe that the problem is time
zone related. Time objects usually don't "loose" their Time Zone when
performing operations on them. Here's an example for illustration:
$ rails console
Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.4)
ruby-1.8.7-p330 :001 > Time.zone.name
=> "Vienna"
ruby-1.8.7-p330 :002 > t = Time.zone.now.beginning_of_month
=> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 CET +01:00
ruby-1.8.7-p330 :003 > t += 3.hours
=> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 03:00:00 CET +01:00
ruby-1.8.7-p330 :004 > t.beginning_of_day
=> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 CET +01:00
If the should_receive arguments and actual arguments wouldn't be the same, then
I would expect both examples below to fail.
context ".on_day" do
let(:start_of_day) { Time.zone.now.beginning_of_day }
before { Interval.should_receive(:in_interval).with(start_of_day,
start_of_day + 1.day).and_return("result") }
# (1) Passing example:
it { Interval.on_day(start_of_day + 3.hours) }
# (2) Failing example:
it { Interval.on_day(start_of_day + 3.hours).should == "result" }
end
However, (1) is passing and (2) is failing. Output as before:
>> Failure/Error: Allocation.on_day(start_of_day + 3.hours).should == "result"
>> NoMethodError:
>> undefined method `includes_values' for "result":String
Any ideas?
Best regards,
