Hi there,
I’m striking a wee problem - and haven’t been able to figure it out. In
my
before statement I’m setting up a mock video. I’d like one of my
examples
to check that original= and save! are being called on the mock video, so
I
have an example that looks like this:
it "should update the original video and save the video" do
post :upload_video, :video_id => 'hi', :Filedata => @video_file
@vid.should_receive(:original=)
@vid.should_receive(:save!)
end
This fails saying that @vid didn’t receive original=. However, if I
move
the two should’s up into the before block, then the example passes. I
thought @vid might be getting reassigned somewhere before the example
code
is run, but I can’t spot it. (@video is used in the action - not @vid).
Can anyone spot something obvious I’m doing wrong here? I’m happy for
any
other feedback on this too - it’s pretty ugly. Here’s the whole before
block with the should’s included in a location that let the example(s)
pass:
before(:each) do
@video_file = ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new(RAILS_ROOT
“/spec/fixtures/files/video.mpg”, ‘video/mp4’)
@thumb = "thumb"
@thumb.stub!(:url).and_return("the_thumb_url")
@original = "original"
@original.stub!(:path)
@vid = mock_video(:original_thumbnail => @thumb, :convert_path
=>
“convert_path”, :still_path => “still_path”, :original => @original)
# @vid.stub!(:original=)
# @vid.stub!(:save!)
@videos = []
@videos.stub!(:find).and_return(@vid)
@current_user = mock_model(User, :id => 1, :videos => @videos)
controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@current_user)
@vid.should_receive(:original=)
@vid.should_receive(:save!)
end
I’m betting it’s something really obvious somewhere. 
Cheers,
Tim.
