undefined method `validate' for Promiscuous::Publisher:Module (NoMethodError)

[josephbridgwaterrowe]

I receive this error when using Promiscuous::Publisher.validate('generated_mocks.rb') in rails_helper.rb.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious but I tried searching the report for validate with no matching results.

Oh, and I'm using it with ActiveRecord.

To be fair I'm not sure I even need this.

I was giving this a try because my database_cleaner.rb support file was failing, which I seem to have resolved by wrapping some of the statements with Promiscuous.without_promiscuous { }.

For example:

# spec/support/database_cleaner.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before(:suite) do
    Promiscuous.without_promiscuous { DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation) }
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
  end

  config.before(:each, :js => true) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    Promiscuous.without_promiscuous { DatabaseCleaner.start }
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    Promiscuous.without_promiscuous { DatabaseCleaner.clean }
  end
end

Validate isn't supported. This may be due to outdated documentation. Where did you see an example of this method being used?

[josephbridgwaterrowe]

It was just in the documentation. When using the test mocks do we just include the generated mock file?

Thanks for your response.

[kareemk]

Yes, exactly. You just include the mock file and then you can simulate publish events in your tests.

[josephbridgwaterrowe]

OK, thanks for the verification.
