Often when you are writing unit tests, you want to mock your IP address. Some of the uses cases could be – you are checking if IP is within the certain range.
For RSpec 2.x mocking IP would look like this:
ActionDispatch::Request.any_instance.stub(:remote_ip).and_return("192.168.0.1")

However, if you try to do it in RSpec 3.x, it will give you an error since ‘any_instance‘ syntax is deprecated.
To make the same work for RSpec 3.x use this:
allow_any_instance_of(ActionDispatch::Request).to receive(:remote_ip).and_return("192.168.99.225")Tagged: Rails, Rspec, Rspec 3, Rspec mock ip, Rspec Stub IP, Ruby, Ruby on Rails
