Stub for Sphincter searching. Extend ActiveRecord::Base with this module in your tests so you won‘t have to run a Sphinx searchd to test your searching.

In test/testHelper.rb:

  require 'sphincter/search_stub'
  ActiveRecord::Base.extend Sphincter::SearchStub

Before running a search, you‘ll need to populate the stub‘s accessors:

  def test_search
    Model.search_args = []
    Model.search_results = [Model.find(1, 2, 3)]

    records = Model.search 'query'

    assert_equal 1, Model.search_args.length
    assert_equal [...], Model.search_args
    assert_equal 0, Model.search_results.length
  end

Since both search_args and search_results are an Array you can call search multiple times and get back different results per call. search will raise an exception if you don‘t supply enough results.
