Besides the RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup#example is deprecated warning, I get a bunch of `stub_model` is deprecated.

What does this warning mean? Can I continue with this warning? How can I fix this?

Hi Sergio

Okay, can you add the following line to spec_helper.rb file?

Search folder spec ---> views ---> spec_helper.rb
@0:41

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.expose_current_running_example_as :example
end

More details

Hope that helps ;-)

Thanks!

That seems to fix the RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup#example but not the "stub_model is deprecated" warning.

Ah I forgot to mention, you need to add another lines to spec_helper.rb and also put in Gemfile file. 

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.raise_errors_for_deprecations!
end

-Open your Gemfile to add below:

  # Support for its syntax
  gem 'rspec-its', '~> 1.0.1’

  # Support for stubbing model in view specs:
  gem 'rspec-activemodel-mocks', '~> 1.0.1'

Hello, I am running into the same issue, I have nine deprecation warnings regarding the Stub Model. I tried to implement the fix you listed and it caused a bunch of failures. Any different suggestions to get it working?

`stub_model` is deprecated. Use the `rspec-activemodel-mocks` gem instead. Called from /Users/Blake/TreeHouse/projects/odot/spec/views/todo_lists/show.html.erb_spec.rb:5:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'.
`stub_model` is deprecated. Use the `rspec-activemodel-mocks` gem instead. Called from /Users/Blake/TreeHouse/projects/odot/spec/views/todo_lists/edit.html.erb_spec.rb:5:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'.
`stub_model` is deprecated. Use the `rspec-activemodel-mocks` gem instead. Called from /Users/Blake/TreeHouse/projects/odot/spec/views/todo_lists/new.html.erb_spec.rb:5:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'.
Too many uses of deprecated '`stub_model`'. Pass `--deprecation-out` or set `config.deprecation_stream` to a file for full output.


If you need more of the backtrace for any of these deprecations to
identify where to make the necessary changes, you can configure
`config.raise_errors_for_deprecations!`, and it will turn the
deprecation warnings into errors, giving you the full backtrace.
