Net::HTTP missing delete -- a reprieve

Earlier today I wrote

bambinos:

I just got really screwed over by Net::HTTP

The docs talk about a nice delete method for sending HTTP DELETE requests, however it turns out that it does not exist

>> Net::HTTP.methods.include?("delete")
=> false

I am somewhat annoyed, especially given we asked a third-party to respond to DELETE requests, and now have to figure out a way to send them! Bad ruby! Bad Net HTTP!

Turns out it was mostly my mistake (isn’t it always), but i blame rdoc for being somewhat less than clear!

Delete is not a class method (though given that Get is, i think Delete should be too), so the correct way to use it is

  uri = URI.parse("http://server.example.com:8080/path/to/resource?var=value")
  request = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
  response = request.delete(uri.request_uri)

Make sure you only give the uri.host to Net::HTTP.new and not uri.to_s otherwise you get annoying errors; and that you use uri.request_uri not request.path when creating the path for the delete method, as the path does not include any query params

How to mock Rails view helpers with RSpec

If you want to stub view helper method in some view spec, you can do the following:

 @controller.template.stub!(:helper_method_name).with(:some_args).and_return("some result")

should_receive in rspec stories

In Test 1 I do this

SSO::SSO.should_receive(:authorize).with(“foo@bar.com”, “pass”).and_return(“asdf”)

So now:

SSO::SSO.authorize(“foo@bar.com”, “pass”) -> “asdf”

Then in test 2 I do

SSO::SSO.should_receive(:authorize).with(“foo@bar.com”, “pass”).and_return(“qwer”)

But I still get…..

SSO::SSO.authorize(“foo@bar.com”, “pass”) -> “asdf”
