[SOLVED] How to ignore some calls to the same method with different argument in Rspec?

How to ignore some calls to the same method with different argument in Rspec?

This is my scenario:

After updating an AR object, it fires a bunch of background jobs with Resque. In my specs I’m mocking the call to Resque#enqueue, something in the lines of:

it 'should be published' do
  # I need to setup these mocks in many places where I want to mock a specific call to Resque, otherwise it fails
  Resque.should_receive(:enqueue).with(NotInterestedJob1, anything)
  Resque.should_receive(:enqueue).with(NotInterestedJob2, anything)
  Resque.should_receive(:enqueue).with(NotInterestedJob3, anything)

  # I'm only interested in mocking this Resque call.
  Resque.should_receive(:enqueue).with(PublishJob, anything)
end

As you can see, I need to mock all other calls to Resque#enqueue everytime I want to mock a specific call, is there a way to only mock a custom call and ignore the other calls with different arguments?

Thanks in advance ;)

Solution

I think that in this case you would need to do what I think of as the method stubbing equivalent of as_null_object, but in this case specifically for calls to Resque.enqueue that you don't care about:

it 'should be published' do
  allow(Resque).to receive(:enqueue) # stub out this message entirely
  expect(Resque).to receive(:enqueue).with(PublishJob, anything)
  call_your_method.that_calls_enqueue
end
