Partial doubles

When the verify_partial_doubles configuration option is set, the same argument and
method existence checks that are performed for object_double are also performed on partial doubles. You should set this unless you have a good reason not to. It defaults to off
only for backwards compatibility.

Scenarios

doubling an existing object

Given

a file named "spec/user_spec.rb" with:

class User
  def save; false; end
end

def save_user(user)
  "saved!" if user.save
end

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.mock_with :rspec do |mocks|
    mocks.verify_partial_doubles = true
  end
end

RSpec.describe '#save_user' do
  it 'renders message on success' do
    user = User.new
    expect(user).to receive(:saave).and_return(true) # Typo in name
    expect(save_user(user)).to eq("saved!")
  end
end

When

I run rspec spec/user_spec.rb

Then

the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure"
