yeah, I realized that shortly after posting it, and I modified the spec
as such:
#Here's the spec:
module Antlers
describe Menu do
context "display a Menu from a text file" do
before (:each) do
@messenger = mock("messenger").as_null_object
@menu = Menu.new("Main Menu")
end #before
...
#This spec passes
it "should throw an error if asked to display a menu that does not
exist" do
menu2 = Menu.new("Title_Menu")
menu2.display_menu(@messenger).should == "#{menu2.txtfile}does
not exist!"
end
#this spec does not pass, the object is initialized with an empty hash,
the display_menu method #populates that hash. That's how it behaves in
usage
it "should load the contents of the text file into the action list" do
@menu.action_list.empty?.should == false
@menu.display_menu(@messenger)
end
end #new menu context
end #menu
end #module
I wonder if it has something to do with @messenger being a mock null object?
