Setting and skipping callbacks in rspec

Question

I have a callback defined in my model as

 after_commit :method, on: [:create, :update]

In my test I want to disable this callback using set_callback method. How can I do it?

Answer 1

set_callback is used to add a callback to a model: http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveSupport/Callbacks/ClassMethods/set_callback

I think skip_callback is to be used here: http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveSupport/Callbacks/ClassMethods/skip_callback

You would call it like this:

SomeModel.skip_callback(:commit, :after, :method)

It's often used in test factories, for instance to skip a before_save method called some_method:

factory :user do
  after(:build) do |user|
    user.class.skip_callback(:save, :before, :some_method)
  end
end
