Setup 3 individual expectations: a_instance.should_receive(:process_datetimes).with(input_datetime_start_1, datetime_end_1).once.ordered a_instance.should_receive(:process_datetimes).with(input_datetime_start_2, datetime_end_2).once.ordered Your 2 methods should be tested in isolation (unless #process_datetimes is private). So for #calculate_input_datetimes, just ensure that #process_datetimes is called with the correct arguments. The, test #processs_datetimes in isolation. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
