Stub Active Record count with parameter

Question

I'm struggling to figure out how to stub the following:

def max_post_limit
    Post.on(date).count > some_limit
end

I'm trying to stub the Post... section, not the method. So far I have tried the following and similar variations. All return either 0 or 1.

before do 
    Post.stubs(:on).returns([])
    Post.stubs.(:on).with(date).returns([])
    Post.stubs.(:count).returns(some_limit)
end

Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

Answer 1

try:

allow(Post).to receive_message_chain(:on, :count) { 123 }
