Stubbing RestClient response in RSpec

Question

I have the following spec...

  describe \"successful POST on /user/create\" do
    it \"should redirect to dashboard\" do
      post \'/user/create\', {

Instance doubles are the way to go. If you stub a method that doesn't exist you get an error, which prevents you from calling an un-existing method in production code.

      response = instance_double(RestClient::Response,
                                 body: {
                                   'isAvailable' => true,
                                   'imageAvailable' => false,
                                 }.to_json)
      # or :get, :post, :etc
      allow(RestClient::Request).to receive(:execute).and_return(response)
