I had a code in rspec 2.14.1 like
allow_any_instance_of(AnyClass).to receive(:some_method).and_call_original with a corresponding message expectation
expect_any_instance_of(AnyClass).to receive(:some_method) The above worked fine in rspec 2.14.1. After upgrade to rspec 3.1.0, the above code no longer works. It fails on the message expectation that some_method is not called even once
However if I change the stub like
allow_any_instance_of(AnyClass).to receive(:some_method).and_return(value) it works fine in rspec 3.1.0.
I just wanted to understand why using and_call_original with allow_any_instance_of fails after rspec upgrade.
I can see from this link that and_call_original is only supported on partial doubles.
Does that mean using allow_any_instance_of is not partial double?

and_call_original does actually work when used with allow_any_instance_of.
Refer the specs for any_instance which gives us an idea of different ways of mocking or to un-stub using and_call_original here.
To answer my question above, the way I was using message expectation is wrong. It should be:
allow_any_instance_of(AnyClass).to( receive(:any_method).and_call_original ) expect(AnyClass.new.any_method).to eq(:any_method_value) I was trying to use expect_any_instance_of instead of expect which caused the issue.
