Usage examples

mutru ยท Feb 17, 20097 thanks

Basic usage:

User.should_receive(:find).with(:all, anything).and_return("hello world")

Now:

User.find(:all, :conditions => "foo")  #=> "hello world"

But you can also use blocks for more complex matching logic. For example:

User.should_receive(:find) { |*args|
if args.size == 2
  "received two arguments"
else
  "something else"
end
}.at_least(:once)

Now:

User.find(:all, :conditions => "bar")  #=> "received two arguments"
User.find(5)                           #=> "something else"

Of course normally you'd return mocks instead of strings.
