RSpec matcher for delegations

delegate_matcher.rb

# RSpec matcher to spec delegations.
#
# Usage:
#
#     describe Post do
#       it { should delegate(:name).to(:author).with_prefix } # post.author_name
#       it { should delegate(:month).to(:created_at) }
#       it { should delegate(:year).to(:created_at) }
#     end

RSpec::Matchers.define :delegate do |method|
  match do |delegator|
    @method = @prefix ? :"#{@to}_#{method}" : method
    @delegator = delegator
    begin
      @delegator.send(@to)
    rescue NoMethodError
      raise "#{@delegator} does not respond to #{@to}!" 
    end
    allow(@delegator).to receive(:@to).and_return(double('receive'))
    allow(@delegator.send(@to)).to receive(method).and_return(:called)
    
    @delegator.send(@method) == :called
  end

  description do
    "delegate :#{@method} to its #{@to}#{@prefix ? ' with prefix' : ''}"
  end

  failure_message do |text|
    "expected #{@delegator} to delegate :#{@method} to its #{@to}#{@prefix ? ' with prefix' : ''}"
  end

  failure_message_when_negated do |text|
    "expected #{@delegator} not to delegate :#{@method} to its #{@to}#{@prefix ? ' with prefix' : ''}"
  end

  chain(:to) { |receiver| @to = receiver }
  chain(:with_prefix) { @prefix = true }

end

This gist is updated to use the RSpec 3.3 syntax for stub and double.

Possible bug: I believe there is a typo in line 20; I think (:@to) should be (@to)

I corrected in a fork found here

Another probably bug: line 21, should be receive(@method) else when @Prefix is true, you attempt with the wrong method name.

Refactored a bit for RSpec 3.5 and simplicity in yet another fork.
