[rspec-users] Specifying that code is called in a block

[Lugovoi Nikolai]

What about such specification?
  specify "cow, dog and duck must be saved in the same transaction" do
    $log.clear
    @connection.stub!(:begin_db_transaction).and_return {
$log.record("BEGIN"); nil }
    @connection.stub!(:commit_db_transaction).and_return {
$log.record("COMMIT"); nil }
    @cow.stub!(:save!).and_return  {$log.record("COW SAVE"); true}
    @dog.stub!(:save!).and_return  {$log.record("DOG SAVE"); true}
    @duck.stub!(:save!).and_return {$log.record("DUCK SAVE"); true}

    @tested_object.exec_method_about_cow_dog_and_duck

    txn_intervals = %w(COW DUCK DOG).collect do |beast|
      [ $log.find("BEGIN", :before, "#{beast} SAVE"),
$log.find("COMMIT", :after, "#{beast} SAVE")]
    end

    txn_intervals.each do |range|
      range[0].should_be kind_of(Time)
      range[1].should_be kind_of(Time)
    end
    txn_intervals.uniq.size.should == 1
  end

where $log can be something like:
    $log = Struct.new(:events, :timestamps).new
    def $log.clear
      events = []
      timestamps = []
    end
    def $log.record(what)
      events << what
      timestamps << Time.now
    end
    def $log.find(what, where, start)
     # return timestamp of event `what' that is :before or :after
(where)  event `start'
    end
