RSpec 2
In RSpec 2
shared_examples_for can have parameters
Show archive.org snapshot
. You can simply hand over arguments from it_behaves_like:
shared_examples_for 'string equaling another string' do |expected_string|
it 'is equal to another string' do
expect(subject).to eq(expected_string)
end
end
describe 'some string' do
subject { 'foo' }
it_behaves_like 'string equaling another string', 'foo'
end
RSpec 1
Use it_should_act_like from our spec_candy.rb (note the /behave/act/). It allows you to call a standard shared example group with parameters.
Some stupid examples follow to show how it works:
shared_examples_for 'string equaling another string' do
it 'should be equal to another string' do
subject.should == string
end
end
describe 'some string' do
subject { 'foo' }
it_should_act_like 'string equaling another string', :string => 'foo'
end
If you call it_should_act_like with a block, it will be made available as block:
shared_examples_for 'action requiring admin user' do
it 'should deny access to a guest user' do
sign_in 'guest'
expect { block.call }.to raise_error(Aegis::AccessDenied)
end
end
describe UsersController do
describe '#new' do
it_should_act_like 'action requiring admin user' do
get :new
end
end
end
