Using allow_any_instance_of in a scenario

[Jimmy89]

Hello,

From what I understood of the original project, rspec mocking commands should be supported. I have tried to use allow_any_instance_of(Class).to receive(:check).and_return([]) as the only command in the basic scenario file (of the provided examples). However, my Rails returns an error when I try to execute this. Do you have any clue how I can get this to work?

Text from the original project:

In the scenario you also have access to RSpec mocking functions. So you could do something like:

scenario :basic do
  allow(ExternalService).to receive(:retrieve).and_return("result")
end

Thanks a lot!

Update:
By adding the following code, I managed to get it to work! However, I am curious if there's a better way. Also, is there a way to clean up my spec changes for when I don't want to mock anymore? Any idea's?

require 'rspec/rails'
RSpec::Mocks.teardown
RSpec::Mocks.setup
extend RSpec::Mocks::ExampleMethods
allow_any_instance_of(Class).to receive(:check).and_return([])

yes, the original it was part of the project but in order to make it more flexible, I removed more of the built-in functionality in favour of more simple ruby files that are simply called which allows you to do more customisations.
The ruby files that are generated are really only examples, so feel free to modify/add/delete to fit your need.

A word of caution, whatever you require/modify will stay in the running process and could have unexpected side effects. ie RSpec was not built with the idea of it renaming in a running process

That said, I'll look into using your code to add another example file to the cypress-on-rails generator
