Some of my tests use ActiveResource HttpMock requests and some of them  
do not. Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the HttpMocks  
after they have already been loaded? The method  
ActiveResource::HttpMock.reset! only removes all the objects, but  
ActiveResource still thinks it should look for mock requests rather  
than actually making requests. I hope this makes sense!

Thanks,  
Tom

A little more information: the problem is once you require  
‘active\_resource/http\_mock’ all subsequent tests will assume http  
mocks exists. This makes it so I can’t run my tests with rake.

No response? Is anyone using HttpMock?

Thanks,

I haven’t used HttpMock, but I’ve used Fakeweb  
([http://fakeweb.rubyforge.org/](http://fakeweb.rubyforge.org/)) and that will let you setup and reset  
the registry pretty easily:

FakeWeb.clean\_registry
