rspec users - Jul 2010 - methods not available...

Hi all. Noticed that with rspec 1.x

methods at "higher levels" aren''t available in lower, ex:

context "a" do
 def go
 end

 it "should pass" do
    go
 end

  it "should pass again" do
   context "a::b" do
      go
   end
  end

end

This surprised me a bit, making re-use of outer methods unavailable.
Is it expected?

Thanks!

You can''t wrap contexts inside examples.

This should work:

describe "a" do
  def go; end
  context "b" do
    it "should access go" do
      go
    end
  end
end

HTH,

Cool thanks for the reply.
The confusing part is that it allowed me to have that context within
an example.

Maybe a more explicit failure for newbies when they do this would be
kind.
