shared examples
Reported by Brian Takita | May 27th, 2008 @ 08:46 PM | in No-Milestone-Assigned
There already are SharedExampleGroups, which allow groupings of Examples and callbacks.
There are situations when only one Example needs to be shared. Unfortunately, creating an ExampleGroup construct is a little too heavyweight for those cases.
For those situations, it would be useful to have a shared Example.
describe UserController do
describe "#create" do
describe "when logged in" do
it "renders 'username created another user'", :shared => true do # or have a shared_it method
end
describe "when creating an Admin" do
it "renders 'username created another user'"
end
describe "when creating a normal User" do
it "renders 'username created another user'"
end
end
end
end
Another method name can be substituted if the proposed implementation is too confusing.

I'd prefer share_as if we add this (there is a similar method for creating example group modules).
I like the "when/then" feel this supports.
Side note - #describe is aliased by #context, so you can do this:
describe UserController do describe "#create" do context "when logged in" doI like that because it breaks up all those nested describe blocks.
