Spec inheritance

users_controller_spec.rb

describe UsersController do
  describe '#show' do
    before { get :show, id: user.id }

    it { should respond_with :success }
    it { should assign_to(:user).with(user) }

    context 'with public user' do
      let(:user) { Factory(:public_user) }
    end

    context 'with protected, but friended user' do
      let(:user) { Factory(:protected_user, friends: [current_user]) }
    end
  end
end

I didn't think that the 2 specs would run in each context when written this way.

In plain rspec they wouldn't, context is just an alias for describe, I'm just experimenting with it. It's pretty easy to make it work with minitest/spec though, you would have total 6 assertions. Do you have some experience/examples with contract testing in Ruby? I would love to know more about this stuff. 26-07-2012 19:37, "J. B. Rainsberger" < reply@reply.github.com> napisał(a):

Good, then I wasn't completely crazy. I didn't think it would work.

Sadly, I don't have examples of doing this in Ruby with RSpec. I'd just do it with shared examples. I don't have enough practice with it to know the problems with shared examples in RSpec.
