There's always a chance. What do you propose?

Re: [rspec-users] Mocking Rails association collections
I eventually ended up using this, from a somewhat-related post to this
list a couple months ago:
def assoc_mock(stubs = {})
proxy = mock('association_proxy')
stubs.each do |method, ret|
proxy.stub!(method).and_return(ret)
end
proxy
end
Then I can do something like I wanted:
@comment = mock_model(Comment)
@article = mock_model(Article, :comments => (@comment = assoc_mock(:find
=> [EMAIL PROTECTED])))
But this works just like the stub!(Foo, :method => return). I might keep
mine, though, its a little more explicit as to what the 'in-between'
collection is.
Thanks,
Paul

You can use the stub() method instead of mock() to inline method stubs:
@article = mock_model(
Article, :comments => stub(Array, :find => [EMAIL PROTECTED])
)
The mock() method works differently because it does different stuff w/
the Hash under the covers.

[rspec-users] Mocking Rails association collections
Rails model association collections allow you to do nifty things like:
article.comments.find(:all, :conditions => {:created_at > 1.day.ago})
Has anyone found a good way to mock this up? I'm currently doing this:
@comment1 = mock_model(Comment)
comments = mock(Array)
comments.stub!(:find).and_return([EMAIL PROTECTED])
@article = mock_model(Article)
@article.stub!(:comments).and_return(comments)
I don't like this, because of that intermediate 'comments' object, whose
only purpose is so that i can stub the chained method. I'd like to do
something like this:
@comment1 = mock_model(Comment)
@article = mock_model(Article, :comments => mock(Array, :find =>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]))
But trying this causes an error: "Mock 'Array' received unexpected
message :find with (:all, ...)" because you can't inline stubs with
ordinary `mock`. I can replace it with `mock_model`, but this feels unclean.
Has anyone come across a good 'best-practice' solution to this problem?
