The stack trace of the failure points to line 30 of lib/api_client.rb, but
there aren't 30 lines in what you pasted of that file - following the stack
trace should help you pin it down.
Also you should try to replicate the problem directly in the console (test
environment), so if just doing this causes the problem, it's nothing
specific with your spec, but may be something specific with the test
environment (is the AppSettings class behavior properly in the test
environment?):
> ApiClient.get_user_by_email('[email protected]')
Finally, when you get this working, you can certainly use webmock or
flexmock directly, but it might help to make use of VCR which wraps some
common stuff you might be doing up quite nicely:
