I have a rspec mocked object, a value is assign to is property. I am struggleing to have that expectation met in my rspec test. Just wondering what the sytax is? The code:
def create
@new_campaign = AdCampaign.new(params[:new_campaign])
@new_campaign.creationDate = "#{Time.now.year}/#{Time.now.mon}/#{Time.now.day}"
if @new_campaign.save
flash[:status] = "Success"
else
flash[:status] = "Failed"
end end
The test
it "should able to create new campaign when form is submitted" do
campaign_model = mock_model(AdCampaign)
AdCampaign.should_receive(:new).with(params[:new_campaign]).and_return(campaign_model)
campaign_model.should_receive(:creationDate).with("#{Time.now.year}/#{Time.now.mon}/#{Time.now.day}")campaign_model.should_receive(:save).and_return(true)
post :create
flash[:status].should == 'Success'
response.should render_template('create') end
The problem is I am getting this error:
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'CampaignController new campaigns should able to create new campaign when form is submitted' Mock "AdCampaign_1002" received unexpected message :creationDate= with ("2010/5/7")
So how do i set a expectation for object property assignment?
Thanks
