Rspec Sinatra and Activerecord

Hi,

I have a sinatra app that I’ve integrated with Activerecord that I am
trying to write some specs for.

I have a simple spec where I am essentially getting “all” rows from my
model table.

However I’d like to stub out the call.

so… in my spec’s before block I try to do something like:

ActiveRecord::Base.should_receive(:establish_connection)

in my spec I do :

it “should retreive all ids” do
IdMap.should_receive(:find_all_by_site_id).with(“abc-123”).and_return("")
get “map/site1”
end

and my spec keeps failing on IdMap.should_receive…
It complains that it cannot connect to the database.

If I swap in mocha and do IdMap.expect… it works.

I’d prefer to stick with Rspec’s mocking and stubbing library in this
case tho… I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on whether
or not I am doing somethign wrong?

Thanks!
Jay
