Ruby: Alter class static method in a code block
- by Phuong Nguy?n
Given the Thread class with it current method.
Now inside a test, I want to do this:
def test_alter_current_thread
Thread.current = a_stubbed_method
# do something that involve the work of Thread.current
Thread.current = default_thread_current
end
Basically, I want to alter the method of a class inside a test method and recover it after that.
I know it sound complex for another language, like Java & C# (in Java, only powerful mock framework can do it). But it's ruby and I hope such nasty stuff would be available
