Can't test against a class which extends Savon::Model

[davetapley]

It appears that you can't test against a class which extends Savon::Model.

I have written savon_model_spec_fail.rb to demonstrate that instead of mocking the get_user SOAP action, the call is passed on to httpclient:

$ rspec savon_model_spec_fail.rb
.W, [2012-07-16T23:15:31.268851 #22655]  WARN -- : HTTPI executes HTTP GET using the httpclient adapter
FW, [2012-07-16T23:15:32.375432 #22655]  WARN -- : HTTPI executes HTTP GET using the httpclient adapter

I just ran this with a debugger. The problem is that Savon attempts to retrieve the WSDL document you specified. Since you specified a remote location for the document, it opens an HTTP connection to retrieve it. Of course the document does not actually exist, so your test fails.

[29, 38] in /Users/tim/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/savon-1.1.0/lib/savon/wasabi/document.rb
   29  
   30        # Resolves and returns the raw WSDL document.
   31        def resolve_document
   32          case document
   33            when /^http[s]?:/ then
=> 34              response = HTTPI.get(request)

that sounds about right. savon_spec stubs your soap requests, but if you depend on a remote wsdl,
savon still needs to fetch it to set up the client.
