### Introduction Argument matchers can be used: * In stubs to constrain the scope of the stubbed method obj.stub(:foo).with(:bar) do |arg| #do something for :bar end obj.stub(:foo).with(:baz) do |arg| #do something for :baz end * In expectations to validate the arguments that should be received in a method call #create a double obj = double() #expect a message with given args obj.should_receive(:message).with('an argument') If more control is needed, one can use a block obj.should_receive(:message) do |arg1, arg2| # set expectations about the args in this block # and optionally set a return value end
