[rspec-users] specing class methods

[Scott Taylor]

Here is an example from autotest:

class Autotest

   def self.run
	new.run
   end

   def new
	...
   end

   def run
	...
   end

...
end

How would I spec out Autotest.run?

Two complications come to my mind:

1. How do I spec out class methods? (please point me to docs, if  
any.  I can only find class level specing on "partial mocks" (of  
rails class objects)
2.  How can I tell that new.run has been called, without saying  
should_receive(:new) and should_receive(:run) in separate specs?

Another complication:

How would I spec out the (instance level) run method, which has an  
infinite loop?

   def run
     hook :run
     reset
     add_sigint_handler

     loop do # ^c handler
	#...stuff...
     end
     hook :quit
   end

Thanks for all of your help,

Scott Taylor
