Feature: standalone require "rspec/mocks/standalone" to expose the mock framework outside the RSpec environment. This is especially useful for exploring rspec-mocks in irb. Scenario: method stub outside rspec Given a file named "example.rb" with: """ require "rspec/mocks/standalone" greeter = double("greeter") greeter.stub(:say_hi) { "Hello!" } puts greeter.say_hi """ When I run `ruby example.rb` Then the output should contain "Hello!" Scenario: message expectation outside rspec Given a file named "example.rb" with: """ require "rspec/mocks/standalone" greeter = double("greeter") greeter.should_receive(:say_hi) RSpec::Mocks.verify """ When I run `ruby example.rb` Then the output should contain "say_hi(any args) (RSpec::Mocks::MockExpectationError)" Then the output should contain "expected: 1 time" Then the output should contain "received: 0 times"
