Rspec：存根模型方法仍在控制器测试中调用

Question

In have this model in Rails:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.create_auth_from_hash(hash)
    # stuff
  end
end

I want to stub the create_from_auth_hash method so I can isolate the controller behaviour. Apparently the current syntax for this is:

expect_any_instance_of(User).to receive(:create_from_auth_hash).and_return(false)

But even though I get no errors, the model method is still called.

How can I stub model methods? I'm using Rails 4.1 and RSpec 3.0.

Your expectation is set up to stub a method on any instance of User , not the class method you've defined on User .

To do that, you just pass User as the argument to expect , instead of an instance. Like this:

expect(User).to receive(:create_from_auth_hash).and_return(false)
