Also, any opinions on using a Factory pattern for instantiating mocks ofmodels? I like the idea of maintaining mocks in one place as I frequently use them across several specs for models that haveassociations. Do you think it would create dependency issues between thespecs using that Factory?
I have built my own "factory" by creating methods such as mock_user in the spec helper. That method will then fill in some reasonable values and stub all the needed methods. Granted, the need for that is less now with stub_model, but sometimes you also want to stub some associations. That has certainly reduced the amount of repetition in my specs.
