How to test a scope in Rails 3

Question

What\'s the best way to test scopes in Rails 3. In rails 2, I would do something like:

Rspec:

it \'should have a top_level scope\' do
  Category.top         


        

Answer 1

FWIW, I agree with your original method (Rails 2). Creating models just for testing them makes your tests way too slow to run in continuous testing, so another approach is needed. Loving Rails 3, but definitely missing the convenience of proxy_options!
