I will try and look at this during the coming weekend.

However, if you have a fix I would appreciate a PR.

I confess rspec tests are not a strong skill.

I could use some help figuring this out.

I had a quick look the other day and got as far as working out it was not trivial.

How can I mock Stomp client in application? Currently I am using double to mock Stomp and methods to it. Is this correct way of testing or is there any better approach available?

[gmallard]

If mocks work for you, then it is perfectly fine to use them.

I personally do not test the gem using rspec/mocks - I run unit tests against live brokers.

I do not believe that mocks can ever approach what you will see a live running broker actually do.

The gem unit tests are run against:

• ActiveMQ
• RabbitMQ
• Artemis
• Apollo
