I am using Ruby on Rails 3.1.0 and the rspec-rails 2 gem. I would like to refactor the following sample code in a my spec file:
describe "Making things" do
it "should make a thing" do
# Make the thing
...
# This is the same statement as that present in the "should make another
# thing" example (read below for more information)
response.body.should include("Hello World")
end
it "should make another thing" do
# Make another thing
...
# The same statement as that present in the "should make a thing" example
response.body.should include("Hello Wo开发者_如何转开发rld")
end
end
How can I refactor the above response.body.should include("Hello World")
code so to write less code? That is, how can I test the response.body
content by using one statement valid for both spec examples?
Use shared_examples_for
.
Like this:
describe "Making things" do
before do
@user.new
end
shared_examples_for "normal case" do
it "shows hello world" do
response.body.should include("Hello World")
end
# more tests could be here
end
context "making a thing" do
before(:each) do
# make thing
end
it_should_behave_like_a "normal case"
end
context "making another thing" do
before(:each) do
# make another thing
end
it_should_behave_like_a "normal case"
end
end
See documentation here.
