Rspec test gems

Question

I developed a gem to be used inside the model by adding acts_as_gmappable and you can pass parameters in the declaration.

Now that I want to write tests using Rspec, I am stuck for all model related functions:

• check the correct execution of geocoding
• check I create the correct json from all database entries
• etc.

I know how to do this in a Rails application, but definitely not for the gem. Any track?

I managed to do this by reading the excellent book of Jose Valim:

http://plataformatec.com.br/crafting-rails-applications/

He describes how he tests his gem using his construction engine:
