How to test chained methods and code inside initializators

Hi, I’m having a lot of fun testing with RSpec and Cucumber. I can really feel the difference in the quality of the code I produce.

I’m having some troubles understanding how to test a couple of things. Usually, if I’m having trouble testing something, it means that my design could probably be improved or changed, but in these cases I think I’m doing the right thing.

Here’s the first scenario:

class Foo
  def initialize
    do_something
  end
end

Here I have no idea how to test that the do_something method is called.

Another issue I have is with the following code:

my_method.another_chained_method.something_else

Here I’m having trouble understanding how to test that my_method receives another_chained_method and so on.

Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!
