  # Defined private and protected methods will still trigger `method_missing`
  # when called publicly. We want ruby's method visibility error to get raised,
  # so we simply delegate to `super` in that case.
  # ...well, we would delegate to `super`, but there's a JRuby
  # bug, so we raise our own visibility error instead:
  # https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/1398
  visibility = proxy.visibility_for(message)
  if visibility == :private || visibility == :protected
    ErrorGenerator.new(self).raise_non_public_error(
      message, visibility
    )
  end
  # Required wrapping doubles in an Array on Ruby 1.9.2
  raise NoMethodError if [:to_a, :to_ary].include? message
  proxy.raise_unexpected_message_error(message, args)
end

Instance Method Details

- (Object) ==(other)

This allows for comparing the mock to other objects that proxy such as ActiveRecords belongs_to proxy objects. By making the other object run the comparison, we're sure the call gets delegated to the proxy target.

# File 'lib/rspec/mocks/test_double.rb', line 36
def ==(other)
  other == __mock_proxy
end

- (Object) as_null_object

Tells the object to respond to all messages. If specific stub values are declared, they'll work as expected. If not, the receiver is returned.

def as_null_object
  __mock_proxy.as_null_object
end

- (Object) freeze

Override for default freeze implementation to prevent freezing of test doubles.

# File 'lib/rspec/mocks/test_double.rb', line 67
def freeze
  RSpec.warn_with("WARNING: you attempted to freeze a test double. This is explicitly a no-op as freezing doubles can lead to undesired behaviour when resetting tests.")
end

- (Object) initialize(name = nil, stubs = {})

Creates a new test double with a name (that will be used in error messages only)

    stubs = name
    @name = nil
  else
    @name = name
  end
  assign_stubs(stubs)
end

- (Boolean) null_object?

Returns true if this object has received as_null_object

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
