Hi Group I'm still waiting for the light to come on with stubbing/mocking and the syntax for each. I have simple method in my Order class like so....
def credit_card ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard.new( :type => card_type, :number => card_number, :verification_value => card_verification, :month => card_expires_on.blank? ? Time.now.month : card_expires_on.month, :year => card_expires_on.blank? ? Time.now.year : card_expires_on.year, :first_name => first_name, :last_name => last_name ) end This method should return valid if the card is valid. http://activemerchant.rubyforge.org/classes/ActiveMerchant/Billing/CreditCard.html I started out like this but then confusion set in. If anyone has the time to help me understand or write the proper spec for this method I think it will help me better understand how to stub or mock a 3rd party item like this. I just watched the peepcode screencast and I've watched the railscasts. I'm just trying to apply my meager understanding to my own project now. it "should validate credit card" do gateway = stub('gateway') gateway.should_recieve(:valid) ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard.stub(:new).and_return gateway end I also have a credit card Factory setup, but I'm not sure where or how I apply this to the stub. Thanks in advance! _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
