Here's a minimally reproducible example, you can just copy this and run it with the latest version of gem install rspec
.
#class Bar
# def run_bar(a:, b:)
# return
# end
#end
def foo(bar)
if bar != nil
bar.run_bar(a: "test", b: {})
end
end
describe 'foo' do
it 'runs bar' do
bar_stub = double('bar')
foo(bar_stub)
expect(bar_stub).to receive(:run_bar).with(a: "test", b: {})
end
end
I think this test makes sense but when I run it, it fails saying it got an unexpected message which is quite literally copy-pasted from the actual invocation.
% rspec test.rb
F
Failures:
1) foo runs bar
Failure/Error: bar.run_bar(a: "test", b: {})

If it matters, here's the version.
% rspec --version
RSpec 3.10
Oh, I think I just realized that the expect
has to come before the code is actually run.
#class Bar
# def run_bar(a:, b:)
# return
# end
#end
def foo(bar)
if bar != nil
bar.run_bar(a: "test", b: {})
end
end
describe 'foo' do
it 'runs bar' do
bar_stub = double('bar')
expect(bar_stub).to receive(:run_bar).with(a: "test", b: {})
foo(bar_stub)
end
end
