Hi<br><br>I'm loading a gem on demand but can't find a way to spec it.<br><br>Assuming rubygems is already loaded, I assumed the following would
work:<br><br> describe SqliteConnection, " class" do<br> it "should require 'sqlite3'" do<br> Kernel.should_receive(:require).with("sqlite3")<br> SqliteConnection.new<br> end<br> end<br><br>Unfortunately it seems that rubygems does something funky to <br>"require" because it works as a standalone method, but not as a <br>Kernel.require call (ie Kernel.require 'sqlite3' => "LoadError: no <br>such file to load -- sqlite3"). Do I need to set the expectation on <br>the "main" object? I have also tried this:<br><br> main_object = self<br><br> describe SqliteConnection, " class" do<br> it "should require 'sqlite3'" do<br> main_object.should_receive(:require).with("sqlite3")<br> SqliteConnection.new<br> end<br> end<br><br>but fails with
this:<br><br> Mock 'Object' expected :require with ("sqlite3") but received it <br>with ("sqlite3/database")<br><br>(!!!)<br><br>I'm at a loss, I hope someone can help<br><br>Thanks<br>Ashley<br><br><br>-- <br>blog @ <a href="http://aviewfromafar.net/" target="_blank">http://aviewfromafar.net/</a><br>linked-in @ <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleymoran" target="_blank">http://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleymoran</a><br>currently @ home<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>rspec-users mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:rspec-users@rubyforge.org" href="mailto:rspec-users@rubyforge.org">rspec-users@rubyforge.org</a><br><a href="http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users" target="_blank">http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users</a></div></div></div></div><br>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
