Standalone/Test::Unit DSL is crap

[rentalcustard]

Can we do anything better with the has_received? method?

What do you think exactly the DSL is crap? assert_(not_)received looks ok to me

[rentalcustard]

The assert_* methods are fine, in my opinion. It's what comes after that - e.g.

    assert_not_received(subject) { subject.has_received?.some_method }

We have to do this because you can't do the RSpec trick of:

   some_object.should some_matcher.some_method_chain.stuff.things

and know that #matches? will get called at the end. Take a look at the way RR does post-call matching in test/unit; it's very similar, for very similar reasons.

Maybe we could do something like:

assert_received(subject.some_method)

using some kind of cleverness, but honestly I haven't spent long enough thinking about it because I haven't had the need.
