I second that.  I agree that you should only test the code you write,  
but unfortunately(!) you get a lot of behaviour for each line of code  
you write in rails, so I prefer to test the expected behaviour than  
signs that the behaviour is in place

Sometimes I'm forced to break this, in which case I write an  
assumption spec that tests a single case of what the library should  
be doing, then test that I interact with it properly.
