For each key in +hash_of_stubs+, if the model has a # matching attribute (determined by asking it) are simply assigned the # submitted values. If the model does not have a matching attribute, the # key/value pair is assigned as a stub return value using RSpec's # mocking/stubbing framework. # # <tt>new_record?</tt> is overridden to return the result of id.nil? # This means that by default new_record? will return false. If you want # the object to behave as a new record, sending it +as_new_record+ will # set the id to nil. You can also explicitly set :id => nil, in which # case new_record? will return true, but using +as_new_record+ makes the # example a bit more descriptive. # # While you can use stub_model in any example (model, view, controller, # helper), it is especially useful in view examples, which are # inherently more state-based than interaction-based. # # == Database Independence # # +stub_model+ does not make your examples entirely # database-independent. It does not stop the model class itself from # loading up its columns from the database. It just prevents data access # from the object itself. To completely decouple from the database, take # a look at libraries like unit_record or NullDB. # # == Examples # # stub_model(Person) # stub_model(Person).as_new_record # stub_model(Person, :id => 37) # stub_model(Person) do |person| # person.first_name = "David" # end def stub_model(model_class, stubs={}) stubs = {:id => next_id}.merge(stubs) returning model_class.new do |model| model.id = stubs.delete(:id) model.extend ModelStubber stubs.each do |k,v| if model.has_attribute?(k) model[k] = stubs.delete(k) end end add_stubs(model, stubs) yield model if block_given? end end #-- # TODO - Shouldn't this just be an extension of stub! ?? # - object.stub!(:method => return_value, :method2 => return_value2, :etc => etc) #++ # Stubs methods on +object+ (if +object+ is a symbol or string a new mock # with that name will be created). +stubs+ is a Hash of +method=>value+ def add_stubs(object, stubs = {}) #:nodoc: m = [String, Symbol].index(object.class) ? mock(object.to_s) : object stubs.each {|k,v| m.stub!(k).and_return(v)} m end private @@model_id = 1000 def next_id @@model_id += 1 end end end end
