delegate_method doesn't work when delegated to private method

[freemanoid]

Class which delegates to private method:

class UserPresenter 
  delegate :name, to: :user

  def initialize(user)
    @user = user
  end

  private
  attr_reader :user
end

Spec

describe UserPresenter do
  let(:user) { mock_model(User) }
  subject { described_class.new(user) }

  it { should delegate_method(:name).to(:user) }
end

Error:

Failure/Error: it { should delegate_method(:name).to(:user) }
       Expected UserPresenter#name to delegate to UserPresenter#user
       Calls on UserPresenter#user: (none)

Moving attr_reader :user out of the private section fixes the issue.
