Is it possible to mock a method if the method name is in a variable? #58

Is it possible to mock a method if the method name is in a variable?

For example

method_name :my_method
stub(Object).method(method_name).with("foo")

Which I want to work like:

stub(Object).my_method("foo")

Try:

stub(Object).send(method_name, "foo")

Nothing special, just plain ol' Ruby :)

P.S., it's kind of frowned upon to ask questions in an issue tracker. You'd have better luck pinging Brian directly.

Actually, that would work, but if I'm reading #28 correctly, calling send on a stub will stub send instead of actually sending the method. You might try

stub(Object).__send__(method_name, "foo")

send seems to make the trick. Yes, I should probably have asked this on stackoverflow or something. It feels wrong to ask the creator of an opens source project since it is more of an question for the whole community.

Is it worth to add this to the readme? Thanks!
