[rspec-users] mocking errors

[s.ross]

I'm doing this and overriding the last line if I want errors, but  
yours should also work if you want a message. Dunno if mine is more  
or less "correct".

   @thing = mock_model(Thing, :title => 'my mock title')
   @thing.should_receive(:errors).any_number_of_times.and_return 
(@errors)
   @errors = mock('errors')
   @errors.should_receive(:size).any_number_of_times.and_return(0)
