Hi, David,
Thanks for that. Makes sense that the update_attributes message is to be
received by the instantiated object and not the class.
I made the following change and yet, I get an error implying that the
update_attributes message is never called.
----------------- Spec extract starts --------------------------------
context 'saves updates to an existing part object successfully' do
before do
part = double('part')
end
it 'does its job in saving the update' do
part.should_receive(:update_attributes).and_return(true)
Part.should_receive(:find).with(1).and_return(part)
put :update, :id => 1, :part => {'title' => 'Brake pads'}
flash[:notice].should eq('Part was successfully updated.')
end
end
----------------- Spec extract ends --------------------------------
and the error reads:
------- Error extract begins -----------------
1) PartsController saves updates to an existing part object successfully
does its job in saving the update
Failure/Error: part.should_receive(:update_attributes).and_return(true)
(Mock "Part_1006").update_attributes(any args)
