[rspec-users] Getting Class in Shared Behaviours

Hi,

I want to be able to get at the described class in my shared behaviour. 
I''m
sure an example will say it better than my words

describe "my shared", :shared => true do

  it "should tell me what the class is its describing" do
    how_do_i_get_the_user_class_here
 end

end

describe User do
  it_should_behave_like "my shared"

  #...
end

So in my shared behaviour, how do I get access to the User class?

Cheers
Daniel

yep

should == User
expected: User,
     got: #<Class:0x25d0ce4> (using ==)

There''s no way to do this implicitly. i.e. rspec does not expose the
class. You''d have to have a method like described_class or something:

describe "my shared", :shared => true do

  it "should tell me what the class is its describing" do
    described_class.should do_something_I_care_about
 end

end

describe User do
  def described_class
    User
  end
  ...
end

However, if you do this:

describe MyModule do # MyModule has a #hello method
  it "should be polite" do
    hello.should == ''How do you do''
  end
end

Modules are automatically mixed into your examples

Thanx.  I was aware of that behaviour, but this module is being mixed into
AR classes and relies on there being methods available to AR models.  I
really want to implemnet these specs as a shared behaviour on each
implementing model.

That way I can check to make sure that the model has the correct attributes
for the mixin to function properly etc.

Thanx again.

Some of this clears up my issues around sharing behaviors that you can  
pass parameters to.  I was doing a hackish solution before by  
including a module then calling a method it provides, but now I can  
have shared behaviors and just have them call specific methods which  
then become a convention to define.  It still feels hackish, but not  
nearly as much.  Is there another way?

Or you could just set up instance variables in your before :each block:

describe "an object which has to_s", :shared => true do
   it "should work!" do
     :foo.send(@method).should == "foo"
   end
end

describe Symbol do
   before :each do
     @method = :to_s
   end

   it_should_behave_like "an object which has to_s"
end


On another note, I''ve been poking around Rubinius'' source,
which uses
a scaled down version of rspec, and they already have shared examples  
with parameters:

shared :symbol_id2name do |cmd|
   describe "Symbol\##{cmd}" do
     it "returns the string corresponding to self" do
       :rubinius.send(cmd).should == "rubinius"
       :squash.send(cmd).should == "squash"
       :[].send(cmd).should == "[]"
       :@ruby.send(cmd).should == "@ruby"
       :@@ruby.send(cmd).should == "@@ruby"
     end
   end
end

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../spec_helper''

describe "Symbol#to_s" do
   it_behaves_like(:symbol_id2name, :to_s)
end


This doesn''t seem that hard to implement.  Is there some reason a  
patch has been created yet?

Ooh, I totally want to do this, I''ll work on it this week along with  
my other patch i have yet to submit this week, unless Scott is partial  
to doing it.  Do you want it, Scott?

Oh, and the reason I include this is because it''s always a question  
when discussing things, and this makes it always available, both to  
those reading now and those who may read these conversations in the  
future.

I''d like to see something like this:


it_should_behave_like "a foo", :variables => {
   :bar => "bar",
   :baz => "baz",
   :class => Object
}


describe "a foo", :shared => true do

   it "should have the variable bar there, equal to bar" do
     bar.should == "bar"
   end

end

Conceivably, you could do some metaprogramming to define methods  
"bar" and "baz" in the ExampleGroupClass (or whatever that
thing is
called now) to return the values give in the hash.

Anyone else have any opinions on this?  I''d like to get some more

I like what Scott suggested.

it_should_behave_like "a foo", :with => { ... }

Might read a little better.  But I like the idea of it just taking a hash.

The obvious problem with this approach is that it will crowd the  
namespace (declaring methods in the shared example object might lead  
to some hard to track down bugs).


The other suggestion, as proposed in IRC (for those who may not have  
been in the room).

[11:06pm] smtlaissezfaire: So I was thinking of another way to do  
this - with the shared specs
[11:06pm] fowlduck: elaborate
[11:06pm] smtlaissezfaire: It could be block/lambda based
[11:06pm] fowlduck: that''s actually what I was going to suggest
[11:06pm] smtlaissezfaire: So you might say it_should_behave_like  
"foo", var1, var2 and so on
[11:07pm] fowlduck: *args, &proc
[11:07pm] fowlduck: or something
[11:07pm] smtlaissezfaire: and then describe "a shared  
example", :shared => true do |var1, var2|

I''m interested in other''s opinions (or other suggestions).
