I have a class called X that writes to disk. For this reason, the class is hard to test. If it wrote to a hash instead, I could test it.
So I made a new class called X in test/mocks. In that class, I overrode the methods that wrote to disk. But I didn't want to copy ALL the methods from the real X into the mock X - only the ones that were being over-ridden. My idea was to subclass the mock X from the real X and only define/ cripple the poisonous file-based methods. However, it doesn't work :-D The problem is that I don't know how to subclass from the real X: def X < X ... end ...doesn't cut it! Assuming the real X lives in (proj)/lib/this/ that, how can I subclass from it? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
