More on Bogus: Stubbing out all instances of a class
I continue working with Bogus and finding how to do things that I think should be easy, but that Bogus doesn't make very clear. Hopefully this blog post will help those similarly confused.
Today I needed to test a controller. The controller method is dead stupid.
def create
account = Account.new(params)
if account.valid?
render nothing: true
else
head :bad_request
end
end
The normal Bogus approach relies heavily on dependency injection, which doesn't work for controller tests. I can't create the instance of Account outside of the controller and pass it into the create method. So I had to set up Bogus so that it would stub all instances of Account.
describe AccountsController do
describe "Creation" do
fake(:account)
it "gives a bad request if the accout details are invalid " do
stub(account).valid? {false}
stub(Account).new(any_args) { account }
...
end
end
end
I don't see this documented in Bogus itself, but I found the hint I needed by looking at this issue
