Not so much mocking...and not so much stubbing, but...

Found this while looking at my github private feed via Jim Weirich. Looks interesting. The reason I'm posting here is that I believe Steve Harmen was looking to do something like this a while back and Joe was going to try hacking this into flexmock. The project's not complete, but compelling. Word up.

Thanks for posting! RDingus was started at a recent Cleveland Ruby Brigade meeting and being maintained by Jonathan Penn. We're continuing work on it at the next CleRB meeting. If anyone is interested in reading more on our progress check out our Google group: http://groups.google.com/group/clerb.

We'd love to hear some thoughts as well. Obviously it's still under heavy development.

Yes, damn than steve harman anyway for putting this bug in my ear.

I've forked flexmock and am playing with it. No promises on
completion but I'm getting to the

f = flexmock('foo')

do_something_with(f)

f.should_have_received(:bar).twice

It's not too hard to implement. The trick is seeing if it can live
with both. If your mock needs to return a value, you need to set that
expectation early.

If anyone is interested in pairing on it sometime I would love another
set of eyes.
