[rspec-users] How to spec an attachment_fu model

[Justin W. Reagor]

I just got finished working with attachment_fu, and ended up modeling  
a plugin for my company since attachment_fu was slight over kill for  
our needs.

Have you opened up attachment_fu's source? upload_data is just  a  
method (so is upload_data=) which is inserted into a model that calls  
has_attachment. I have yet to spec my plugin so I'm interested to see  
what your results are.

Thanks,
