Stubs all the HTTP calls no explicitly registered (is this desired?)

[eka]

I use to group my gems for development and test together, and found out that each time I enter rails console or run a rake task all the HTTP call were stubbed. I thought this was explicitly set.

Is this a desired behavior?

I fixed my problem separating test and development gems group in my Gemfile.

Yes, that's by design. Webmock blocks all http connections by default.
This is to prevent tests from making unexpected network connections.

You can use WebMock.disable! or WebMock.allow_net_connect! where needed,
but a good rule is to include webmock only in the test group.
