Should_receive twice and arguments

Testing RSpec
#1

Hi all, I have a method calling Klass.create! two times with different
arguments (this happens in a class reponsable for reading in a csv file)

I want to test those like this:

in one test: Klass.should_receive(:create!).with(:name => “foo”).once
in another: Klass.should_receive(:create!).with(:name => “foo2”).once

This doesn’t work because the ‘once’ is only about the create! call,
it doesn’t use the arguments to make the call unique. Can I make this
work another way (not only should_receive(:create!).twice, I want to
test the arguments).

Thanks for any feedback.

Actually, that should work. ‘once’ is about the complete expectation
including the arguments. If this isn’t working you’ve uncovered a bug.
Please report it to the lighthouse (http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com)
with specific examples we can run and the output you’re getting.

Thanks,

Ok,

found the problem after trying to make an example: I forgot to add a
stub! to accept the second call to create!

I didn’t find it sooner because the error was:

Mock ‘Class’ expected :create! with ({:name=>“foo”}) but received it
with ({:name=>“foo2”})
And it did get it with ({:name => “foo”}), but only the first time…

Thanks!
