I found out why.
1. specs parts controller: the 'update_attributes' method is being
assigned with 'true'
2. parts controler: the 'update' method is using 'update_attributes!' and
not 'update_attributes'
Explains why update_attributes never got messaged :) thanks everyone :)
Here's my updated spec which passes :)
----------------- Spec extract begins --------------------------------
context 'saves updates to an existing part object successfully' do
it 'does its job in saving the update' do
Part.should_receive(:find).with(1).and_return(part)
part.should_receive(:update_attributes!).and_return(true)
put :update, :id => 1, :part => {'title' => 'Brake pads'}
flash[:notice].should eq('Part was successfully updated.')
end
end
----------------- Spec extract ends --------------------------------
thank you, all :)
