- Object
- RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup
- Extended by:
- Hooks, MemoizedHelpers::ClassMethods, SharedExampleGroup
- Includes:
- MemoizedHelpers, Pending
- Defined in:
- lib/rspec/core/example_group.rb
Overview
ExampleGroup and Example are the main structural elements of rspec-core. Consider this example:
describe Thing do
it "does something" do
end
end
The object returned by describe Thing
is a subclass of ExampleGroup. The object returned by it "does something"
is an instance of Example, which serves as a wrapper for an instance of the ExampleGroup in which it is declared.
Example group bodies (e.g. describe
or context
blocks) are evaluated in the context of a new subclass of ExampleGroup. Individual examples are evaluated in the context of an instance of the specific ExampleGroup subclass to which they belong.
Besides the class methods defined here, there are other interesting macros defined in Hooks, MemoizedHelpers::ClassMethods and SharedExampleGroup. There are additional instance methods available to your examples defined in MemoizedHelpers and Pending.
Constant Summary collapse

Raised when an RSpec API is called in the wrong scope, such as

describe
method (or alias).

.add_example(example) ⇒ void
Adds an example to the example group.
-
.include_context(name, *args, &block) ⇒ void

, which creates a nested group. -
.include_examples(name, *args, &block) ⇒ void
Includes shared content mapped to
name
directly in the group in which it is declared, as opposed toit_behaves_like
, which creates a nested group. -
