mocking with cucumber, rspec and rails
Florent2
I need mocking in a feature for code interacting with a third party
service, in a Rails3beta4 application, with cucumber 0.8.3, cucumber-
rails 0.3.2 and rSpec 2.0.0.beta.14.
I try to add require 'spec/stubs/cucumber' in env.rb but without
success, I get a "no such file to load -- spec/stubs/cucumber
(LoadError)" error.
When trying the solution proposed in
http://groups.google.com/group/cukes/browse_thread/thread/522dc6323b2d34b9/dbce8743b017a17a
and running my feature scenario (having 5 steps), I got failed initial
and final steps: F-----F, saying my scenario 5 steps were skipped.
That's the first time I need mocking in Cucumber, maybe I miss
something.
Any help appreciated :)

Your hooks have probably failed. Try running with -f pretty to see details about the error. I suspect the hack in that thread using $rspec_mocks.verify_all might not work in rspec 2.0 but I don't know that.
Have you considered using the adapter pattern and building your own fake substitute for the service instead of using mock objects?

still there on RSpec 2.

something similar to spec/stubs/cucumber and could not anything. I'll
ask in the rSpec list, if there is a plan to support it again.

to make use of it. Thanks.
With the absence of rSpec stubbing in Cucumber with rSpec2 (AFAIW) is
this the recommended way to build Cucumber features dealing with third
party services?
aslak hellesoy
Cucumber never had special support for RSpec stubbing.
Just refactor the code in env.rb to use the RSpec2 API.
Where did you take your stubbing code from btw?

to follow those instructions to stub with Cucumber:
http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/mocking-and-stubbing-with-cucumber
and then this solution:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://groups.google.com/group/cukes/browse_thread/thread/522dc6323b2d34b9/dbce8743b017a17a&usg=AFQjCNGt48AaOsJdZ9SwcPWlym_uqppcVw
I'll have a look at the Rspec2 API to figure out how it differs from
Rspec when used to stub in Cucumber. Thanks.

Ok, I see.

It would be nice if RSpec2 had something similar to what RSpec1 had -
maybe you can convince David to add it.

Never mind - I added that support to Cucumber instead:
http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/commit/4cf06933fd7aa8964299bb2dfa56256a0c2a0035
http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/mocking-and-stubbing-with-cucumber
There is something wrong with the Github wiki. It seems like they are
not ivalidating the wiki page caches properly. Hit edit on the page to
see the updates I just made.

Thanks a lot Alask! I am very grateful. Thanks to your instructions, I
could use RSpec2 doubles :) (I just corrected a typo in the wiki, 's'
was missing at the end of double in the require command)
