# something_spec.rb
require 'something'
describe Something do
    before :each do
        @mock_kernel = mock(Kernel)
        @mock_kernel.stub!(:exit)
    end

    it "should exit cleanly" do
        s = Something.new(@mock_kernel)
        @mock_kernel.should_receive(:exit)
        s.process_arguments(["-h"])
    end
end
