I'm speccing a small lib which manipulates image files using mini_magick. The lib creates various temporary files during the process, the lib then cleans up the temporary files at the end.
I'm trying to mock expectations that the calls are made to File#delete Eg... File.should_receive(:delete).once.with("#{generator.tmp_path}-full\.png") File.should_receive(:delete).once.with("#{generator.tmp_path}-screen\.png") File.should_receive(:delete).once.with("#{generator.tmp_path}-shadow\.png") The method in the lib that does this is: Class IconGenerator ... private def cleanup # remove temporary files created during # image manipulation ['-full','_screen','_shadow','_back_shadow'].each do |f| File.delete "#{tmp_path}#{f}.png" if File.exists? "#{tmp_path}#{f}.png" end end ... end The expectations work fine, however, I also have an after block which also calls File.delete to clean up the final version of the manipulated test image after(:each) do # cleanup manipulated image File.delete out_dir.join('MenuIcon.png') if File.exists? out_dir.join('MenuIcon.png') end The File.delete call in the after block fails because its calling the mocked version of File.delete This results in the following error: Failure/Error: File.delete out_dir.join('MenuIcon.png') if File.exists? out_dir.join('MenuIcon.png') NoMethodError: undefined method `=~' for #<Pathname:/Users/robaldred/Sites/egg/tmp/MenuIcon.png> My next step was to stub the write method for every instance of MiniMagick::Image However I will then no longer be able to test the cleanup because the delete method will never be called if the files don't exist. I'm pretty sure I'm going about this the wrong way and making it difficult for myself here.
