[mocha-developer] Expect with "real world" returns?

[Carl Mercier]

Here's a test file to illustrate what I'm saying.

#-------------
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../test_helper"

class BlehTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
   def foo(x)
     "bar #{x}"
   end

   def test_foo
     # fails, foo(1) returns nil
     # ideally, this test should pass and execute the foo
     # method since I didn't specify a return value
     self.expects(:foo).with(1)
     assert_equal "bar 1", foo(1)
   end

   def test_foo2
     # fails, foo(1) returns nil, foo is already mocked,
     # so totally understandable
     self.expects(:foo).with(1).returns(foo(1))
     assert_equal "bar 1", foo(1)
   end

   def test_foo3
     # works, but verbose and not very dry.  very tricky
     # to do something like this in a real world scenario
     output = foo(1)
     self.expects(:foo).with(1).returns(output)
     assert_equal "bar 1", foo(1)  # success
   end
end
#-------------
