Stub class method

[siva]

 Hi Everyone

  I am using a model class method on my controller. How can I stub the class method on my controller?

  Thanks

Hi Siva,

Have you tried

```

allow(MyController).to receive(:method).with(the_arguments_you_expect).and_return(the_return_value_you_expect)

```

you can drop the with, and the and_return as necessary.

Does that answer the question?

Thanks

For a proper stub (canned return value, no validation) I prefer the
simple `stub` block syntax:

```
MyThingy.stub(:method) { |arg| 0 }
```

where 0 is, of course, your stubbed return value and |arg| is optional.

...however, your question is confusing. Is the class method in
question on your model or on your controller?

    Hi Sam

    You solution is helpful. But actually I have modified your solution as per my need. So I have done like this:

    `````
      Project.accessed_projects(current_resource)  #
    `````

    I have stubbed as below

   
      Project.stub(:accessed_projects).with(current_resource).and_return([FactoryGirl.create(:project)])

      and I used expectation message as

     expect(Project).to have_received(:accessed_projects).with(user.resource)

     Till above it's fine. However if I use 'should_receive' it throws error as

     Project.should_receive(:accessed_projects).with(user.resource) # <Project (class)> expected to have received accessed_projects, but that method has been mocked instead of stubbed

     As per my knowledge both expectations message should pass but it didn't. Could you please explain the reason?
