Testing documentation not correct

Bug report

When I tried to use the Savon::SpecHelper I could not get it to work so I resorted to setting up an example project following the documentation found here. Unfortunately following the docs I ran into other issues rather than my real project issues so I thought I'd raise them here to see if we can help fix the documentation and eventually get to my real problem :)

Current behavior:

1. Running code from Testing documentation results in ArugmentError
2. Addressing Argument Error causes NoMethodError

Steps to reproduce current behavior: to reproduce the initial error:

git clone [email protected]:petertellgren/savon-spec-bug.git
cd savon-spec-bug
bundle install
bundle exec rspec

to reproduce the subsequent error:

git checkout step-2
bundle exec rspec

Expected behavior: Passing tests

System information:

• ruby version: 2.7.3
• savon version: 2.12.1

👋 There is a repo https://github.com/savonrb/savonrb.github.io which has the text for the website.

Any output examples you can offer in the Description would help people wanting to help out fixing this!

Now I have attempted to run the example.

The step-2 branch is using the correct arguments, the first Symbol being the name of an operation to call on the WSDL-located service.

 def authenticate(message)
   @client.call(:authenticate, message: message)
 end

Now, the WSDL document describing operations is not valid, that is, "http://example.com?wsdl" being passed to the client, it needs to be a real WSDL description of operations. The text is perhaps not clear about the fact that that line is a non-functioning example WSDL.

The docs could need updating with:

• FIX a note about which "operation" to run from the WSDL, avoiding the ArgumentError
• perhaps a note about the fixture XML files with expected results

Thanks for this message, I was indeed not really aware of it and lost half an hour.
