hi,
I just started to learn Rspec, and it is really wonderful framework to
test all my code :)
But I want to know what is the difference between these two testing
methods.
describe User do
it "blah blah" do
end
end
context User do
specify "blah blah" do
end
end
/Thanks

RSpec originally used the "context/specify" pair, and somewhere on the road to 1.0 decided that "describe/it" was a nicer DSL, but context/specify is still supported. I also seem to recall that some prefer context/specify to, er, describe certain instances, but I can''t remember which or why. Purely a readability/semantic though, though, not a functional difference. -- Jay Levitt | Boston, MA | My character doesn''t like it when they Faster: jay at jay dot fm | cry or shout or hit. http://www.jay.fm | - Kristoffer --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks, so "describe" and "it" are just alias :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
