rspec users - Sep 2009 - Example's scope in the matcher?

If I''m writing a matcher is there anyway to access the scope of the
example from within the matcher? (something that already exists in
rspec, not passing a new binding to the matcher)

There is nothing implicit as of yet. You _can_ wrap a matcher in a
method that refs the example in such that you don''t have to pass it in
where it''s used:

def match_something
  scope = self
  Spec::Matchers::Matcher.new :match_something do
    match do |actual|
      #access scope here
    end
  end
end

Not exactly what you''re looking for, but cleaner than having to say
"thing.should somehow_match(whatever, self)"

HTH,
