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)

Stub: A class or object that implements the methods of the class/object to be faked and returns always what you want. Mock: The same of stub, but it adds some logic that "verifies" when a method is called so you can be sure some implementation is calling that method.
Mocks verify the behavior of the code you're testing, also known as the system under test. Mocks should be used when you want to test the order in which functions are called. Stubs verify the state of the system under test.
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.

Since any_number_of_times is not of any help other alternative methods like at_least(n) and at_most(n) helped removing those deprecation warnings.
