Rspec - Check for the instance of ActiveRecord::Relation of a specific Model

Question

In our application, we have used this

expect_any_instance_of(Order::ActiveRecord_Relation)
  .to receive(:something)

As we upgraded the application to rails 5.2 we are getting the following error

NameError:
   private constant #<Class:0x000055aa351fc9a0>::ActiveRecord_Relation referenced

Is there a way to check for ActiveRecord::Relation of a specific Model with expect_any_instance_of

There is clear explanation from core dev, you're trying to access private method. It's not a part of public API, so you can't use it. — Roman Kiselenko, Sep 05 '18 at 08:03
I know, that's why I am asking if there is any way to check the same without using the `Class:>::ActiveRecord_Relation` — Deepak Mahakale, Sep 05 '18 at 09:22
that's probably not the best test expectation, show us the code you're testing and we can give you an alternative perhaps — Anthony, Sep 05 '18 at 16:25

try this Order.const_get(:ActiveRecord_Relation). it should make it work in rails >= 5.2
