[Ferret-talk] ActsAsFerret - what's the class of the results?

[Jens Kraemer]

Hi,

SearchResults is a *really* thin wrapper around a standard Ruby Array  
instance. If you really want to check it's a SearchResults instance  
and not something else, check for Array and whether it behaves like it  
should by looking at the 'special' methods the SearchResults class  
adds, maybe like this:

assert_equal Array, results.class
%w(total_hits current_page per_page total_pages).each {|m| assert  
results.respond_to?(m.to_sym) }

cheers,
Jens
