Module RSpec::Mocks::ArgumentMatchers
In: lib/rspec/mocks/argument_matchers.rb

ArgumentMatchers are placeholders that you can include in message expectations to match arguments against a broader check than simple equality.

With the exception of `any_args` and `no_args`, they all match against the arg in same position in the argument list.

Passes if object receives `:message` with any args at all. This is really a more explicit variation of `object.should_receive(:message)`

@example

  object.should_receive(:message).with(any_args())

Passes as long as there is an argument.

@example

  object.should_receive(:message).with(anything())

Passes if the argument is boolean.

@example

  object.should_receive(:message).with(boolean())

Passes if the argument responds to the specified messages.

@example

  object.should_receive(:message).with(duck_type(:hello))
  object.should_receive(:message).with(duck_type(:hello, :goodbye))

Passes if the argument is a hash that doesn‘t include the specified key(s) or key/value

@example

  object.should_receive(:message).with(hash_excluding(:key => val))
  object.should_receive(:message).with(hash_excluding(:key))
  object.should_receive(:message).with(hash_excluding(:key, :key2 => :val2))

Passes if the argument is a hash that includes the specified key(s) or key/value pairs. If the hash includes other keys, it will still pass.

@example

  object.should_receive(:message).with(hash_including(:key => val))
  object.should_receive(:message).with(hash_including(:key))
  object.should_receive(:message).with(hash_including(:key, :key2 => val2))
hash_not_including(*args)

Alias for hash_excluding

Passes if `arg.instance_of?(klass)`

Passes if `arg.kind_of?(klass)`

Passes if no arguments are passed along with the message

@example

  object.should_receive(:message).with(no_args)
