Agreed that this is a good approach in terms of dealing w/ rails
models. As for the question of isolating specific key/value pairs in a
hash, you could do this:

obj.should_receive(:message) do |*args|
  hash = args.pop
  hash[interesting_key].should == expected_value
end

It's not pretty, but it works.

The other thing you might consider is a custom matcher. Something like:

obj.should_receive(:message).with(has_key_value(key, value))

The mock framework can use these just as the expectation framework -
though mocks rely on == instead of matches.
