If I have a class like
class MyClass
def initialize(&block)
#myBlock = block
end
def process
#...
#myBlock.call
#..
end
and I want to test a DifferentClass which needs to use MyClass and thus receive a block in the new.
How can I stub that block? What can I do in this situation?
describe DifferentClass do
it 'zomfg' do
allow(MyClass).to receive(:new) do |&block|
expect(block).to receive(:call)
my_object = double
allow(my_object).to receive(:process) { block.call }
my_object
end
foo = MyClass.new {}
# Here you should be passing the foo object to
# whatever method DifferentClass uses it in
foo.process
end
end

So I have two files, one called a.rb and one called b.rb. Here's the contents in both:
# a.rb
class A
def initialize
#variable = ""
#module_b = B.new(self)
end
def pass_to_b(self)
#module_b.do_something(#variable)
end
def set_variable(var)
# var = empty
#variable = var
end
end
and
# b.rb
class B
def initialize(module_a)
#module_a = module_a
end
def set_variable_in_a(data)
#module_a.set_variable(data)
end
def do_something(variable)
# variable = empty
set_variable_in_a("hello world")
end
end
This is just an example of what I'm dealing with. If I'm trying to start a function in Class A, which is supposed to do something in ClassB and then change an instance variable in Class A, I'm not sure how to do this properly. This is what I've tried, however:
a = A.new
a.pass_to_b
Class B cannot see the instance variable #variable, and if it tries to set_variable_in_a, that doesn't work either. It's like the do_something function in Class A successfully calls the do_something function in Class B, but the instance variable information is not available. I thought by passing self to Class B, we'd be able to at least call the function
My MRI throws exeption about
def pass_to_b(self)
because you can't pass self to method as argument.
You need delete 'self' how argument
Run code below and you will see that #variable of instance of Class A has '123hello world' string
class A
def initialize
#variable = "123"
#module_b = B.new(self)
end
def pass_to_b
#module_b.do_something(#variable)
end
def set_variable(var)
# var = empty
#variable = var
end
end
# b.rb
class B
def initialize(module_a)
#module_a = module_a
end
def set_variable_in_a(data)
#module_a.set_variable(data)
end
def do_something(variable)
set_variable_in_a(variable + "hello world")
end
end
a = A.new
a.pass_to_b
display variable 'a' and you will see something like this
#<A:0x00007fdaba0f3c90 #variable="123hello world", #module_b=#<B:0x00007fdaba0f3c40 #module_a=#<A:0x00007fdaba0f3c90 ...>>>
I am trying to access variable in ruby after initialize, but i didn't get that variable , anything wrong in that?
class Test
def initialize(params)
#has_test = params[:has_test]
#limit_test = params[:limit_test]
end
def self.method1(params)
Test.new(params)
#can i get that two instance variable
end
end
You should probably set up attribute accessors, then use them this way:
class Test
attr_accessor :has_test
attr_accessor :limit_test
def initialize(params)
#has_test = params[:has_test]
#limit_test = params[:limit_test]
end
def self.method1(params)
t = Test.new(params)
// can i get that two instance variable
// Yes:
// use t.has_test and t.limit_test
end
end
You are mixing an instance and a class method in your example.
If this is really what you want, then you have to define an accessor with attr_reader:
class Test
def initialize(params)
#has_test = params[:has_test]
#limit_test = params[:limit_test]
end
attr_reader :has_test
attr_reader :limit_test
def self.method1(params)
obj = Test.new(params)
p obj.has_test
p obj.limit_test
end
end
Test.method1(has_test: 1, limit_test: 3)
It the instance/class-method is a mistake, then this example may help you:
class Test
def initialize(params)
#has_test = params[:has_test]
#limit_test = params[:limit_test]
end
def method1()
p #has_test
p #limit_test
end
end
obj = Test.new(has_test: 1, limit_test: 3)
obj.method1
If you define also the accessors like in the first code, then you have again access from outside the class.
Just in case you don't want a reader, see also Access instance variable from outside the class
Currently there is a class in my Rails application which calls blocks as event handlers (callbacks):
class MyClass
#Event handler hooks:
def on_event1(&block)
#on_event1 = block
end
def on_event2(&block)
#on_event2 = block
end
#Event triggers:
def do_event1
#on_event1.call if #on_event1
end
def do_event2
#on_event2.call if #on_event2
end
end
Initializer:
mc = MyClass.new
#===== Event handlers: =====
mc.on_event1 do
#do some stuff
end
mc.on_event2 do
#do some stuff
end
I would like to put event handlers into separate class transforming them from blocks to methods:
class MyClassHandlers
def self.event1_handler
#do some stuff
end
def self.event2_handler
#do some stuff
end
end
How to call a method in a place where block should be given?
I would like to see event binding as something like:
mc = MyClass.new
mc.on_event1 = MyClassHandlers.event1_handler
mc.on_event2 = MyClassHandlers.event2_handler
You could use lambdas:
mc = MyClass.new
mc.on_event1 = lambda { MyClassHandlers.event1_handler }
mc.on_event2 = lambda { MyClassHandlers.event2_handler }
Why does the following code result in the error 'undefined local variable or method `foo_client' for Foo::People:Class'
class Foo::People
class << self
def get_account_balance(account_num)
foo_client.request :get_account_balance, :body => {"AccountNum" => account_num}
end
end
def foo_client
##client ||= Savon::Client.new do|wsdl, http|
wsdl.document = PEOPLE_SERVICE_ENDPOINT[:uri] + "?WSDL"
wsdl.endpoint = PEOPLE_SERVICE_ENDPOINT[:uri]
end
end
end
def get_account_balance is inside the class << self block, so it's a class method. def foo_client is not, so it's an instance method. So you can't call foo_client from get_account_balance because you're not calling it on an instance of People.
I use a lot of iterations to define convenience methods in my models, stuff like:
PET_NAMES.each do |pn|
define_method(pn) do
...
...
end
but I've never been able to dynamically define setter methods, ie:
def pet_name=(name)
...
end
using define_method like so:
define_method("pet_name=(name)") do
...
end
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Here's a fairly full example of using define_method in a module that you use to extend your class:
module VerboseSetter
def make_verbose_setter(*names)
names.each do |name|
define_method("#{name}=") do |val|
puts "##{name} was set to #{val}"
instance_variable_set("##{name}", val)
end
end
end
end
class Foo
extend VerboseSetter
make_verbose_setter :bar, :quux
end
f = Foo.new
f.bar = 5
f.quux = 10
Output:
#bar was set to 5
#quux was set to 10
You were close, but you don't want to include the argument of the method inside the arguments of your call to define_method. The arguments go in the block you pass to define_method.
Shoertly if you need it inside one class/module:
I use hash but you can put there array of elements etc.
PETS = {
"cat" => "meyow",
"cow" => "moo",
"dog" => "ruff"
}
def do_smth1(v)
...
end
def do_smth(sound,v)
...
end
#getter
PETS.each{ |k,v| define_method(k){ do_smth1(v) } }
#setter
PETS.each{ |k,v| define_method("#{k}="){|sound| do_smth2(sound, v) }
