Alternate of any_number_of_times method in stubs

I have upgraded my project to rails 4 but now I am getting some deprecation warnings and one of them is DEPRECATION: any_number_of_times is deprecated.. Code for which I am gettings this warning is

sponsorship = RSpec::Mocks::Mock.new(:sponsorship)

SPONSORSHIP.should_receive(:[]).with('sponsorship').any_number_of_times.and_return(sponsorship)

and another scenario is 

sponsorship.should_receive(:[]).with(key).any_number_of_times.and_return(value)

I have used stub for above code but it is not stubbing correctly. Can you find where I am doing it wrong. For stubbing I have used

SPONSORSHIP.stub(:[]).with('sponsorship').and_return(sponsorship)
Solution

  • The method any_number_of_times is deprecated (and is going away in RSpec 3) because it's not really testing anything. It will never fail, since it can be called 0 times as well. See extended argument in https://trello.com/c/p2OsobvA/78-update-website-menu-architecture-to-accommodate-pledging-as-well-as-weddings-memorials-etc.

    If you expect it to be called at least once, you can use at_least(1).times.
