Shortcut for creating an instance of Spec::Mocks::Mock.

name is used for failure reporting, so you should use the role that the mock is playing in the example.

stubs_and_options lets you assign options and stub values at the same time. The only option available is :null_object. Anything else is treated as a stub value.

Examples

  stub_thing = mock("thing", :a => "A")
  stub_thing.a == "A" => true

  stub_person = stub("thing", :name => "Joe", :email => "joe@domain.com")
  stub_person.name => "Joe"
  stub_person.email => "joe@domain.com"

Alias for mock

Shortcut for creating a mock object that will return itself in response to any message it receives that it hasn‘t been explicitly instructed to respond to.
