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

I suppose this is in a controller spec?

Your own suggestion should work fine. Another possibility is to move the named_scope call inside your model, to avoid the issue entirely. This would also be in line with the "fat models, thin controllers" advice.
