Stubbing Chained Methods with Rspec

Question

I want to call a named_scope that will only return one record, but the named_scope returns an array, that\'s not a big deal as I can just chain it with .first:

M         


        

Answer 1

Better version of

Client.stub!(:named_scope).and_return(@clients = mock([Client]))
@clients.stub!(:first).and_return(@client = mock(Client))

will be:

Client.should_receive(:named_scope).with(param).and_return do
  record = mock_model(Comm)
  record.should_receive(:do_something_else)
  [record]  
end
