A simple mock object that provides the ActiveRecord method signatures read_attribute(key) and write_attribute(key,val), and simple record finder signatures find(id) and find(:all).

This provides some of the ActiveRecord method signatures we use:

• read_attribute(key)
• write_attribute(key,val)
• find(id)
• find(:all)

Example: mock = ActiveRecordMock.new mock.write_attribute('foo','bar') mock.read_attribute('foo') => 'bar'

Example of initialize with attributes: mock = ActiveRecordMock.new(:foo => 'bar', :goo => 'car', :hoo => 'dar') mock.read_attribute(:foo') => 'bar' mock.read_attribute(:goo') => 'car' mock.read_attribute(:hoo') => 'dar'

Example of creating mock users: anne = ActiveRecordMock.new(:id => 123, :name => 'Anne') beth = ActiveRecordMock.new(:id => 456, :name => 'Beth') cate = ActiveRecordMock.new(:id => 789, :name => 'Cate')

Example of mock finder creation: ActiveRecordMock.find=[anne,beth,cate]

Example of mock finder retrieval of records by id: ActiveRecordMock.find(123) => anne ActiveRecordMock.find(456) => beth ActiveRecordMock.find(789) => cate

Example of mock finder retrieval of all records: ActiveRecordMock.find(:all) => [anne,beth,cate]
