Question

I have an acceptance spec using Capybara. However I would like to stub out one helper method (which provides configuration and I want to test different configurations). How to achieve it?

Answer 1

Are you able to stub the configuration instead? It’s a very bad idea to stub your code in an acceptance test.

If you insist this is the best way, you can try:

ActionView::Base.any_instance.stub(:the_helper_method) { "other implementation" }
