Spy on a stubbed method on a partial mock

You can also use have_received to verify that a stubbed method was invoked
on a partial mock.

Scenarios

Given

a file named "verified_spy_spec.rb" with:

describe "have_received" do
  it "passes when the expectation is met" do
    invitation = Object.new
    invitation.stub(:deliver => true)
    invitation.deliver
    invitation.should have_received(:deliver)
  end
end

When

I run rspec verified_spy_spec.rb

Then

the examples should all pass

fail to verify a stubbed method

Given

a file named "failed_spy_spec.rb" with:

describe "have_received" do
  it "fails when the expectation is not met" do
    invitation = Object.new
    invitation.stub(:deliver => true)
    invitation.should have_received(:deliver)
  end
end

When

I run rspec failed_spy_spec.rb

Then

the output should contain "expected: 1 time"

And

the output should contain "received: 0 times"
