We have a test that has been working find until we upgraded to rails
2.3.5.
I’m not too familiar with mocks/stubs so maybe there is an easy
solution.
Here is a simple example of our scenario.
Class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :aliases, :dependent => :nullify
before_destroy :mark_aliases_as_deleted
def mark_aliases_as_deleted
self.aliases.each do |alias|
alias.mark_as_deleted
end
end
end
This is a test to ensure that when the Person is destroyed that all of
their
Aliases get their mark_as_deleted method called. I know this example
isn’t
very practical, but it is the simplest way I could think of to describe
our
problem.
it “should trigger mark_as_deleted in related aliases” do
aliases = []
3.times do |i|
alias = mock("alias #{i}")
alias.should_receive(:mark_as_deleted)
aliases << alias
end
@person.stub!(:aliases).and_return(aliases)
@person.destroy
end
So the problem we are encountering in our scenario is that we get a
NoMethodError exception (undefined method `owner_quoted_id’ for
#Array:0x9a0608c) when trying to destroy the Person because the
stubbed
Aliases return an array and it appears it is expecting some sort of
association object that responds to owner_quoted_id
Like I said, we didn’t have any problems until upgrading from Rails
2.3.4 to
Rails 2.3.5
In case your interested, it is the configure_dependency_for_has_many
method
that calls: “#{reflection.primary_key_name} =
#{record.#{reflection.name}.send(:owner_quoted_id)}”
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

But that’s where I’d start.
