Mocking Workers in Backgroundrb

Testing RSpec
1

Hi

Has anyone mocked a call like the following for backgroundrb?

MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :admin_email_worker, :args => params
[:email])

I cannot seem to find the correct manner to do it.

Would have liked to be able to do MiddleMan.should_receive
(:new_worker).with(:class => :admin_email_worker, :args => {“body” =>
“my message”})

Cheers
Shane

I conditionally load the backgroundrb plugin.
require ‘middleman_rails_init’ if ENV[“use_backgroundrb”]

in vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/init.rb

Then I stick a
class MiddleMan; end

in spec_helper.rb so the constant is defined.

MiddleMan = Object.new

at the top of my spec file worked better for me. I didn’t want to have
to mess with ENV variables.

Hi Guys

This solution seemed to work nicely … I was getting warnings about
redefining the constant and so added:

class Object; remove_const :MiddleMan; end
