undefined method `rspec_reset' with rspec version 2.14

Question

I am trying execute test cases with rspec version 2.14 for which I am getting following error

undefined method `rspec_reset' for

I am trying to use rspec_reset on the class. The same test cases are working with rspec 2.13.1. So is it possible that rspec_reset method is not available after 2.13?

The reset method does not exist in RSpec 2.14.x. Instead, it is a helper method defined inside the spec_helper.rb file for the rspec-mocks project.

module VerifyAndResetHelpers
  def verify(object)
    RSpec::Mocks.proxy_for(object).verify
  end

  def reset(object)
    RSpec::Mocks.proxy_for(object).reset
  end
end

You can see that this method delegates the reset action to the underlying proxy instead of tacking it on to the class definition of the object in question.

Yes, in 2.14, rspec_reset is no longer available on all objects as it was previously, as discussed in https://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks/pull/250.

Although I can't find any documentation on it, there now appears to be an RSpec class method reset which takes an object as an argument and will effectively "undo" any RSpec operations that have been done to that object.

There's an RSpec "example" at https://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks/blob/cee433c89125a3984df33c87eb61985613adce9b/spec/rspec/mocks/mock_spec.rb which still uses the rspec_reset in the description of the example, but which now uses the aforementioned reset method to do the reset. In earlier versions of the example, the reset was done with rspec_reset.
