rspec users - Jan 2011 - feedback on feature request

Hey all,

There is a feature request for rspec-core that I''d like to see some
opinions about. The idea is to be able to reference subjects and methods defined
with let() in parent groups from within the subject() and let() methods in a
child group. Two approaches are to use super or a block argument:

describe "outer" do
  subject { "outer thing" }
  describe "inner with super" do
    subject { super.gsub("outer","inner") }
  end
  describe "inner with block arg" do
    subject { |outer_outer|
outer_subject.gsub("outer","inner") }
  end
end

The same would apply to let:

describe "outer" do
  let(:thing) { "outer thing" }
  describe "inner with super" do
    let(:thing) { super.gsub("outer","inner") }
  end
  describe "inner with block arg" do
    let(:thing) { |outer_thing|
outer_thing.gsub("outer","inner") }
  end
end

Please comment in the github issue:
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/issues/294 rather than in this thread.

Cheers,
David
