NoMethodError: undefined method `stub' for ModuleX:Module

Question

Using Mocha, I am trying to mock a controller method that calls a module method. This is for an integration test.

Example:

class Controller < ApplicationController
  def method1
    response = Module1.method2(... 

My steps so far:

• Added mocha to gemfile
• Added require 'mocha/mini_test' to the very bottom of my test_helper.rb

• Tried this code in my integration test before sending a post to my controller:

  Module1.stub(:method2).returns(:true) post "controller/method1"

• And got this error:

  NoMethodError: undefined method 'stub' for Module1:Module

Is it possible to stub method2?

EDIT: So the main fix is that the method is 'stubs' not 'stub'. I'm still having trouble mocking this dang Module though.

EDIT: Rails and MiniTest just call the module method even after I've stubbed it. Is it possible that Rails is overwriting my stub?

class Test < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

test "test do

Module1.stubs(:method2).returns(:true)
post "controller/method1"

This test leads to error inside method2 bc no parameters were passed in. The test is behaving as if the method was not stubbed.

Answer 1

try .stubs with an s.

The stubnotation is to build a stub you'lle use later on. Add an s when you stub a method directly on something.
