Well, the error you're getting seems to be coming from deep within the bowels
of Rails, where it's trying to encode a hash as JSON. I have no idea what that
code will try to do if you give it a String class as a value within the Hash,
but I can imagine it might cause the kind of weirdness you're experiencing.
What I'd do in a simliar situation is to use a more realistic value (i.e.
something that actually is an instance of String) that still explains to the
reader that it's of low importance to the test case. For example:
Charity.should_receive(:fulltext_search).with('a query
term').and_return([charity])
Sometimes I even push these off into let blocks.
cheers,
Matt
