Stub in config.before

Testing RSpec
1

I was trying to stub something “globally”, across all tests today, and
had
some trouble.

I tried

RSpec.configure do |config|
config.before(:all) do
MyClass.stub(:my_method)
end
end

seems that stub is not available here yet. (I was stubbing a class
method,
and the class was loaded correctly).

Is there somewhere else I should be putting this? At what point is the
stub
code loaded?

(PS, the code I’m using in there works just fine in “proper” before
blocks
inside describe blocks)

That should work. The before’s in config are run before any before’s
in
your specs. And as long as you’re not using any other mocking framework,
.stub should work as well. We’ll need some more info to help you
debug.

The problem is not that it’s a global config, but it’s in before(:all).
Put it in a before(:each) and it will work.

Thanks, cheers

the error I got was that .stub was not defined on the class from that
block

I can try to repro it outside of my current project later if you need
actual
failing code, but that’s a representative snippet of what I tried

Did you try using before(:each)?
