[mocha-developer] Testing event driven Socket classes

[Jay]

Looks like there's a couple options.

You could mock the start_server call:
EventMachine.expects(:start_server).with("192.168.2.252", 
6200,TickServer).yields(conn=mock)
conn.expects(:hello_world)

Or, you should be able to mock any instance of TickServer:
TickServer.any_instance.expects(:hello_world)

I didn't read anything in the code below that made me think this  
wouldn't work.
