I know there are lot of questions in here around this. I’ve tried all of
them but none of them works. Basically, I’m trying to stub
TwitterOAuth::Client so my test won’t call the real api every time.
Here’s the bit from TwitterOAuth gem that I use.
module TwitterOAuth
class Client
def initialize(options = {})
@consumer_key = options[:consumer_key]
@consumer_secret = options[:consumer_secret]
@token = options[:token]
@secret = options[:secret]
@proxy = options[:proxy]
@debug = options[:debug]
@api_version = options[:api_version] || '1'
@api_host = options[:api_host] || 'api.twitter.com'
@search_host = options[:search_host] || 'search.twitter.com'
end
…
def request_token(options={})
consumer(:secure => true).get_request_token(options)
end
end
The request_token is the method I’m trying to stub. And this is what
I’ve done in Sinatra which obviously doesn’t work.
before ‘/’ do
@twitterClient = TwitterOAuth::Client.new(some_params_in_hash)
end
get ‘/login’ do
token = @twitterClient.request_token(callback)
do some other checking
end
And here’s my test
it “should login with Twitter and save session” do
TwitterOAuth::Client.any_instance.stubs(:request_token).with(callback).returns(fake_token)
#it's still going to the real twitter api.
end
I’ve read from somewhere that ruby mixin can be overridden in anywhere.
Clearly, I’m misunderstanding something.
The alternative way is I could wrap the gem again with class and then
stub from the class. Is that a good idea to do?
Please help.
