Sometimes a service is called in some after_commit callback and it triggers already during setup in that service spec as we're trying to get to arguments for the service (usually some record ids).
If only there was a way to disable the callback...
There is! Override the callback method for the one spec instance:
# important to :build so the after-save/commit callback we want to disable does not trigger yet
let(:model_instance) { build(:my_model) }
before do
model_instance.private_methods.include?(:some_callback) ||
# some safety if the callback gets renamed or removed
raise(":some_callback missing!")
def model_instance.some_callback
nil
end
model_instance.save!
end

This is a neat approach! Have you tried using any other methods to disable callbacks, and how did they compare to this one?
