RSpec: Stub chains with arguments?

PlankTon picture PlankTon · Nov 4, 2011 · Viewed 14.1k times · Source

Just wondering if/how arguments can be passed in rspec stub chains. To give an example, suppose I have the following action:

def index
  @payments = Payment.order(:updated_at).where(:paid => true)
  @bad_payments = Payment.order(:some_other_field).where(:paid => false)
end

In my controller spec, I'd like to be able to stub out both methods and return different results. If only the @payments field were in the action I'd use something like

Payment.stub_chain(:order, :where) { return_this }

But of course, that will return the same value for @bad_payments.

So - in short, how do I include the :updated_at and :paid => true as stub conditions?

You can use this:

Payment.stub_chain(:order, :where).with(:updated_at).with(:paid => true) { return_this }
