Testing call to super in rails helper

Hi

I have the following code:

def will_paginate(items, options = {})
options = options.merge(:container => true, :class => ‘paging’)
super(items, options)
end

I am curious about how to test that the call to super is infact being
called
with the added options.

I have this

it ‘should call super on will_paginate’ do
helper.stub!(:will_paginate).with([], {:container => true, :class =>
‘paging’}).and_return(true)
helper.should_receive(:will_paginate).with([], {:container => true,
:class => ‘paging’})
helper.will_paginate([])
end

But it fails as will_paginate is called with [] before being called with
([], {:container => true, :class => ‘paging’})

I am relatively new to rspec, but trying to learn more - if there is a
blog
post on how to deal with these situations, please point me in the right
direction.

Help much appreciated.
