Over at the owowthathurts blog, a nice little tidbit of information on a difference between RSpec version 2 and version 3:

RSpec 3 and Deprecated .and_return Blocks

A deprecation warning I received after upgrading RSpec:

`and_return { value }` is deprecated. Use `and_return(value)` or
an implementation block without `and_return` instead

An example of code it’s complaining about:

@mock_thing.should_receive(:something).and_return do
  double("SomeKindOfRelationship").tap do | mock_assoc |
    mock_assoc.should_receive(:where).and_return([ @mock_relationship ])
  end
end

To fix, just remove the .and_return:

@mock_thing.should_receive(:something) do
  double("SomeKindOfRelationship").tap do | mock_assoc |
    mock_assoc.should_receive(:where).and_return([ @mock_relationship])
  end
end

Of course, make sure your tests pass after the change.
