2 Questions

1. Confuses what to enter into zoo.rb for Foodbarge
2. I believe you already did the Eagle assignment for us

If you run your tests, you get:

/Users/jwo/Projects/scratchpad/Episode1/zoo.rb:88:in `include': wrong argument type Class (expected Module)

So, you can't include Food, which is a class. If you want to have access to food, you can access it later

Second,

panda.should_receive(:eat).with(:foodbarge)

Panda's aren't going to eat a foodbarge... But the foodbarge is going to give the panda a food that it should eat.

maybe you can test that the panda is full after visiting the foodbarge?

I know I'm close now. Is it a good idea to add a visit method? I think I can simplify this

[jwo]

Tell me more about the visit method, I'm not sure I see your vision?

Also -- don't use "stub" in your regular code. It might work locally, but in production, rspec wouldn't be loaded and would cause a load error. (specifically, MethodMissing)

[mikeadeleke]

So my visit method would show the panda visiting the foodbarge. After which, the panda becomes full.

[jwo]

Hmm, ok, so let's say in your Zoo you knew about all of the animals in it. If you had a feed_all! method on the zoo, it could iterate over the animals and for each of them, feed them food from the barge. yay? nay?

[mikeadeleke]

Yeah that sounds good. I think I know where you're going with this but not yet connecting the dots
