Heya all,
I have an interesting case that I would like to bounce off the list.
I have a separate thread going in ruby-talk about Timeout.timeout
still running after the timeout specified. The spec on this has been
the classic ‘I didn’t write it, so I won’t spec it’ and so using mocks
and stubs.
But in this case I am getting a failure (it seems) in the Timeout
library or in the OCI8 library maybe… I actually don’t know.
But regardless, how would one go about specing a timeout block?..
without having to wait 2000 seconds?

The first thing that comes to mind is to pass in your timeout
threshold as a defaulted argument, ie: def do_something(timeout=2000),
and then in the example pass in a much lower threshold. This assumes
that you want the block you pass to timeout to actually be executed.
