Created December 25, 2013 11:56
Custom Rspec matcher for checking class or module for constant. Based on a David Chelimsky's answer on StackOverflow.

RSpec::Matchers.define :have_constant do |constant|
match do |owner|
([Class, Module].include?(owner.class) ? owner : owner.class).const_defined?(constant)
end
failure_message_for_should do |klass|
"expected #{klass} to have constant #{constant}"
end

return unless value

reserved_names += options[:reserved] if options[:reserved]
object.errors[attribute] << 'cannot be a reserved name' if reserved_names.include?(value.downcase)
