[rspec-users] How do you specify a rubygem is being required?

[Al Chou]

RubyGems does indeed muck with the "require" method.

I believe the current version uses the "gem" method and deprecates the "require" method.  Rails warns me about something to that effect whenever I run script/server, anyway.

Not that I seem to have given you any real help with your spec question....

Hi

I'm loading a gem on demand but can't find a way to spec it.

Assuming rubygems is already loaded, I assumed the following would
 work:

   describe SqliteConnection, " class" do
     it "should require 'sqlite3'" do
       Kernel.should_receive(:require).with("sqlite3")
       SqliteConnection.new
     end
   end

Unfortunately it seems that rubygems does something funky to  
"require" because it works as a standalone method, but not as a  
Kernel.require call (ie Kernel.require 'sqlite3' => "LoadError: no  
such file to load -- sqlite3").  Do I need to set the expectation on  
the "main" object?  I have also tried this:

   main_object = self

   describe SqliteConnection, " class" do
     it "should require 'sqlite3'" do
       main_object.should_receive(:require).with("sqlite3")
       SqliteConnection.new
     end
   end

but fails with this:

   Mock 'Object' expected :require with ("sqlite3") but received it  
with ("sqlite3/database")

(!!!)

I'm at a loss, I hope someone can help

Thanks
Ashley
