Rspec stubbing method for only specific arguments

Question

Is there a way to stub method for only specific arguments. Something like this

boss.stub(:fire!).with(employee1).and_return(true)

If any other

Answer 1

You can add a default stub for the fire! method which will call original implementation:

boss.stub(:fire!).and_call_original
boss.stub(:fire!).with(employee1).and_return(true)

Rspec 3 Syntax (@pk-nb)

allow(boss).to receive(:fire!).and_call_original
allow(boss).to receive(:fire!).with(employee1).and_return(true)
