I use: STDOUT.should\_receive(:puts).with… many times in RSPEC

However, I have a couple of “do you want(Y/N)?” where I use ‘print’

and apparently …(:print).with… does not work. I can change ‘print’  
to ‘puts’ and it works perfectly.

How do I test :print and …getch(“y”) for input???

Any help would be appreciated!!
