Feature: Stub Defined Constant Use `stub_const` to stub constants. When the constant is already defined, the stubbed value will replace the original value for the duration of the example. Scenario: Stub top-level constant Given a file named "stub_const_spec.rb" with: """ruby FOO = 7 describe "stubbing FOO" do it "can stub FOO with a different value" do stub_const("FOO", 5) FOO.should eq(5) end it "restores the stubbed constant when the example completes" do FOO.should eq(7) end end """ When I run `rspec stub_const_spec.rb` Then the examples should all pass Scenario: Stub nested constant Given a file named "stub_const_spec.rb" with: """ruby module MyGem class SomeClass FOO = 7 end end module MyGem describe SomeClass do it "stubs the nested constant when it is fully qualified" do stub_const("MyGem::SomeClass::FOO", 5) SomeClass::FOO.should eq(5) end end end """ When I run `rspec stub_const_spec.rb` Then the examples should all pass Scenario: Transfer nested constants Given a file named "stub_const_spec.rb" with: """ruby module MyGem class SomeClass FOO = 7 end end module MyGem describe SomeClass do let(:fake_class) { Class.new } it "does not transfer nested constants by default" do stub_const("MyGem::SomeClass", fake_class) expect { SomeClass::FOO }.to raise_error(NameError) end it "transfers nested constants when using :transfer_nested_constants => true" do stub_const("MyGem::SomeClass", fake_class, :transfer_nested_constants => true) SomeClass::FOO.should eq(7) end it "can specify a list of nested constants to transfer" do stub_const("MyGem::SomeClass", fake_class, :transfer_nested_constants => [:FOO]) SomeClass::FOO.should eq(7) end end end """ When I run `rspec stub_const_spec.rb` Then the examples should all pass
