This is what worked for me back then:

In our spec_helper I did:

class Object;  remove_const :MiddleMan; end
MiddleMan = Object.new

And then the spec looked like:

  it "should call the admin email worker" do
MiddleMan.should_receive(:new_worker).with(:class => :admin_email_worker, :args => @email_params)
    post_with_successful_send
  end

and often MiddleMan.stub!(:new_worker)

I'm trying to verify (using expectations) that a backgroundrb job is being started. I ran across this thread: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/2007-October/004115.html , in which Pat Maddox conditionally loads backgroundrb. However, I don't see why the original construct that started the thread doesn't work:

MiddleMan .should_receive(:new_worker).with(whateveryourparticularargumentsare)

What I'm observing is a failure connecting to dRuby, which makes sense if MiddleMan is not mocked but (to me) does not make sense when it is mocked.

I'd prefer not to change the actual init code for the plugin as Pat suggests.

What am I missing about how this expectation should work?

Thanks
