I'm working on a small Sintra app and am having trouble getting my stub to
return what I want it to. I've been searching and found quite a few with
this question but no real answers. I also posted this to the sinatrarb
google group in case it's an issue there.
I have a helper method that returns a random string. I'm hoping it's
something very simple I'm doing wrong
def random_string(length)
(0..length).map{ rand(36).to_s(36) }.join
end
I have my test written as follows:
describe "#random_string" do
it "returns a random string" do
#Sinatra::Application.any_instance.stub(:random_string).and_return("abcdef")
Sinatra::Application.should_receive(:random_string).with(6).and_return('abcdef')
str = random_string(6)
str.should == "abcdef"
end
end
I have tried both lines shown in the code, and both times, the code runs.
Yet my tests are still failing. It doesn't look like the stub is taking.
My failure looks like:
#random_string returns a random string
Failure/Error: str.should == "abcdef"
expected: "abcdef"
got: "xcz0g7a" (using ==)
Any ideas?
