Stubbed method not being returned to its original state at the end of a test

#56

Reported on behalf of Gareth Reeves :-

Running the following code gives a single expectation error in TestB#setup :-

  unexpected invocation: B.new()

It's like the stub expectation on B in TestA doesn't get removed when other tests run. While A (the superclass) gets cleaned up.

require 'rubygems'
require 'test/unit'
require 'mocha'

class A
  def value; 'a'; end
end

class B < A; end


class TestA < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    A.stubs( :new ).returns( 'this is a' )
    B.stubs( :new ).returns( 'this is b' )
    @a = A.new
    @b = B.new
  end

  def test_value
    assert_equal 'this is a', @a
    assert_equal 'this is b', @b
  end
end

class TestB < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    @b = B.new
  end

  def test_value
    assert_equal 'a', @b.value
  end
end

class TestAgain < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    @a = A.new
  end

  def test_value
    assert_equal 'a', @a.value
  end
end

I wonder whether it's significant that it's the new method that is being stubbed.

It doesn't appear to be significant that it's the new method that is being stubbed. The following test fails with a similar error :-

  unexpected invocation: B.wibble()

require 'rubygems'
require 'test/unit'
require 'mocha'

class A
  def self.wibble; new; end
  def value; 'a'; end
end

class B < A; end


class TestA < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    A.stubs( :wibble ).returns( 'this is a' )
    B.stubs( :wibble ).returns( 'this is b' )
    @a = A.wibble
    @b = B.wibble
  end

  def test_value
    assert_equal 'this is a', @a
    assert_equal 'this is b', @b
  end
end

class TestB < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    @b = B.wibble
  end

  def test_value
    assert_equal 'a', @b.value
  end
end

class TestAgain < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    @a = A.wibble
  end

  def test_value
    assert_equal 'a', @a.value
  end
end
