Replace the value of constant name for the duration of a block. This is especially useful when testing that the expected class methods are being called on a Module or Class instance.

Example:

module Foo
  BAR = :original
end

Foo.stub_const(:BAR, :stubbed) do
  Foo::BAR
end
# => :stubbed

Foo::BAR
# => :original

# File lib/minitest/stub_const.rb, line 19
def stub_const(name, val = nil, &block)
  stub_consts(name => val, &block)
end
stub_consts(consts) { || ... } click to toggle source

Same as stub_const except it supports a Hash of name to value pairs of the constants that will be stubbed for the duration of the block.

Example:

module Foo
  BAR = :original1
  BAZ = :original2
end

Foo.stub_consts(BAR: :stubble, BAZ: :stubby) do
  [Foo::BAR, Foo::BAZ]
end
# => [:stubble, :stubby]

[Foo::BAR, Foo::BAZ]
# => [:original1, :original2]

# File lib/minitest/stub_const.rb, line 40
def stub_consts(consts, &block)
  original_values = {}
  consts.each_pair do |name, val|
    if const_defined?(name)
      original_value = const_get(name)
      original_values[name] = original_value
    end
    silence_warnings { const_set(name, val) }
  end

  yield

ensure
  consts.keys.each do |name|
    if original_values.key?(name)
      silence_warnings { const_set(name, original_values[name]) }
    else
      remove_const(name)
    end
  end
end
stub_remove_const(name) { || ... } click to toggle source

Remove the constant name for the duration of a block. This is useful when testing code that checks whether a constant is defined or not. Simply yields to the passed block if the constant is not currently defined.

Example:

Object.stub_remove_const(:File) do
  "Look ma, no File!" unless defined?(File)
end
# => "Look ma, no File!"

# File lib/minitest/stub_const.rb, line 73
def stub_remove_const(name)
  if const_defined?(name)
    begin
      orig = const_get(name)
      remove_const(name)
      yield
    ensure
      const_set(name, orig)
    end
  else
    yield
  end
end
