So in the next google I found the answer. should_receive
can take a block, so I can rebuild my test as
it 'should receive correctly ordered hash' do
example_id = 12345789
our_api = Example::ApiGateway.new()
params = {:message=>{'ApiKey' => api_key, 'ExampleId' => example_id}}
Savon::Client.any_instance.should_receive(:call){ |arg1, arg2|
arg1.should eq(:get_user_details)
#Ensure order here manually
arg2[:message].keys.should eq(params[:message].keys)
mocked_response()
}
our_api.get_user(example_id: example_id)
end
Now my tests will break as expected when the keys get messed with and I can rack up yet more hours to working around other peoples's fragile code...
