How can I test that a method has been called during runtime with minitest?

How can I test the fact that Geokit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode(generate_address) was called only after a save. Should I write my code differently?

Please, Help.

class Playspace < ActiveRecord::Base
  before_validation :geocode_address, on: [:create, :update]

  def geocode_address
     geo = Geokit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode(generate_address)
    # puts geo
    if geo.success
      self.lat = geo.lat
      self.lng = geo.lng
      self.state_code = geo.state_code
      self.country_code = geo.country_code
      self.geolocated_at = Time.now.utc
    else
     errors.add(:address, "Could not Geocode address #{generate_address}") 
    end
 end

  def did_address_change?
    %w( address city state_code country_code postal_code lat lng  ).each do |column|
      return true if (self.send("#{column}_changed?"))
    end
    false
  end
end

I would recommend mocking out your external API calls with VCR. In fact, the gem you are using in the code uses VCR for its own test suite.

Once you have VCR setup in your tests, they might contain something like this:

VCR.use_cassette("geocode") do
  playspace.geocode_address
  # Check that one of the columns changed
  assert playspace.did_address_change?
end
