I'm looking at an example where a stub seems to work sometimes, and
sometimes appears to become "unstubbed". I haven't boiled it down to a
minimal example, but it goes something like this:
---- the model:
class Premise << ActiveRecord::Base
def lookup_stuff_on_the_web
$stderr.puts("entering lookup_stuff_on_the_web with #{self}")
...
end
end
---- the rspec test file:
describe Analysis do
before(:each) do
@premise = Factory(:premise)
@premise.stub(:lookup_things_on_the_web)
$stderr.puts("just stubbed #{@premise.inspect}")
end
it "should not hit the web" do
@premise.lookup_things_on_the_web.should_not raise_exception
end
end
----
When I run the test, I see:
just stubbed #<Premise id: 1, user_id: 1, ...>
entering lookup_stuff_on_the_web with #<Premise id: 1, user_id: 1, ...>
Failure/Error: ...
WebMock::NetConnectNotAllowedError:
As far as I can see, the Premise that's being stubbed and the Premise
whose lookup_stuff_on_the_web method is getting called are one and the
same. What I can't figure out is why the stub isn't being honored.
(FWIW, the same setup code is working in other tests.)
Are there any known gotchas I should be looking for? Or specific things
I should try to uncover the cause?
TIA.
