Question

This should be simple, but i can’t get it to work. I want to stub an :

@alliance.save

so that it returns true. I tried :

Alliance.stub(:save).and_return(true)

but it won’t work. Any ideas ?

Answer 1

If I’m not mistaken, Alliance.stub(:save) would affect calls to Alliance.save. You want @alliance.stub(:save).and_return(true).

Mocha has a useful method any_instance, so you could do something like Alliance.any_instance.stubs(:save).returns(true), which would (as the name implies) stub the save method for any instance of Alliance.
