Forum: RSpec Best approach to spec'ing this

I am hoping that this is an easy question to answer!

I have 2 models, related via an association model, such that models a 
and b
use has_many to refer to each other, and also the association.

(Thats as simple as the code is)

When I try to write a simple spec to access model 2 from model 1 I am
getting a failure "uninitialized constant in Model1::Association

Before I go back to this tomorrow, what is the best way of speccing 
models
that are connected via associations. Should I be Mocking and stubbing 
the
assosciation model and the child model, or requiring the actual models, 
and
pulling some seed data in form the database?

Thanks

Matt

What I do is to mock and stub the associated models. The current model 
that
I work on is called, usually using a Factory Girl. Hope this helps.

has_many :through with an extra table, or HABTM?

gist the relevant code.
