10/19/2023, 4:45 PMI'd make sure your allow() really affects anything - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:45 PMthere's a good chance it silently calls something else and that returns [] or something - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:46 PMwhat about - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:46 PMeither make it expect() or expect(provider).to have_received(:parse_config) IIRC - v

10/19/2023, 4:46 PM- allow(provider).to receive(:parse_config).and_return([{ key: 'foo', line: 1 }, { key: 'foo', line: 2 }]) - v

10/19/2023, 4:46 PM+ allow(provider.exists?).to receive(:parse_config).and_return([{ key: 'foo', line: 1 }, { key: 'foo', line: 2 }]) - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:46 PMno, that won't work - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:46 PMmhm indeed - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:46 PMwell it's a different error - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:46 PM:D - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:47 PMit would be equivalent to allow(false).to receive(:parse_config) - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:49 PMthe fact that there are many different notations for rspec makes it really hard to google stuff - v

VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:55 PM"expect(provider).to have_received(:parse_config)" says it didn't receive anything - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 4:55 PMso "allow(provider).to receive(:parse_config).and_return([{ key: 'foo', line: 1 }, { key: 'foo', line: 2 }])" might be wrong - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 5:01 PMeven if I move my allow() into the "before(:each) do" block, where the other allow() statements are, it fails - v
VoxBot
10/19/2023, 5:05 PMthe whole before block seems useless :D - v
