Setting Constraints
Most of the test doubles you’ve created will accept any input. If you stub a method named jump with no other options, RSpec will use your stub whenever your code calls jump, jump(:with, :arguments), or jump { with_a_block }.
In this section, we’re going to look at ways to set constraints on a test double, so that RSpec only uses it if your code calls it in a certain way.
Constraining Arguments
In your projects, you’ll often want to check that your code is calling a method with the correct parameters. To constrain what arguments your mock object will accept, add a call to with to your message expectation:
| | expect(movie).to receive(:record_review).with('Great movie!' ... |
