Module | Spec::Example::Subject::ExampleMethods |
In: |

|
should | -> | __should_for_example_group__ |
should_not | -> | __should_not_for_example_group__ |
Just like should, should_not delegates to the subject (implicit or explicit) of the example group.
describe Person do it { should_not be_eligible_to_vote } end
Returns the subject defined in ExampleGroupMethods#subject. The subject block is only executed once per example, the result of which is cached and returned by any subsequent calls to subject.
If a class is passed to describe and no subject is explicitly declared in the example group, then subject will return a new instance of that class.
# explicit subject defined by the subject method describe Person do subject { Person.new(:birthdate => 19.years.ago) } it "should be eligible to vote" do subject.should be_eligible_to_vote end end # implicit subject => { Person.new } describe Person do it "should be eligible to vote" do subject.should be_eligible_to_vote end end
