Ruby Metaprogramming
- by Veerendra Manikonda
I am having a method which returns the price of a given symbol and i am writing a test for that method.
This is my test
def setup
@asset = NetAssetValue.new
end
def test_retrieve_price_for_symbol_YHOO
assert_equal(33.987, @asset.retrieve_price_for_a_symbol('YHOO'))
end
def test_retrive_price_for_YHOO
def self.retrieve_price_for_a_symbol(symbol)
33.77
end
assert_equal(33.97, @asset.retrieve_price_for_a_symbol('YHOO'))
end
This is my method.
def retrieve_price_for_a_symbol(symbol)
symbol_price = { "YHOO" => 33.987, "UPS" => 35.345, "T" => 80.90 }
raise Exception if(symbol_price[symbol].nil?)
symbol_price[symbol]
end
I am trying to mock the retrieve_price_for_a_symbol method by writing same method in test class but when i call it, the call is happening to method in main class not in the test class.
How do I add that method to meta class from test and how do i call it? Please help.
