Rspec: Complex argument expectations for should_receive

Sometimes you need complex expectations on method arguments like this

SomeApi.should_receive(:find).with(:query => '*foo*', :sort => 'timestamp ASC', :limit => 100).and_return(['some result'])

This is not very flexible, and failure messages will be hard to read.

Instead, consider doing this:

SomeApi.should_receive(:find) do |params|
  params[:query].should == '*foo*'
  params[:sort].should == 'timestamp ASC'
  params[:limit].should == 100
  
  ['some result']
end
