Project: RSpec Core 2.2

Publisher: RSpec

If the first argument to the outermost example group is a class, an instance
of that class is exposed to each example via the subject() method.

Scenarios

subject in top level group

Given

a file named "top_level_subject_spec.rb" with:

describe Array, "when first created" do
  it "should be empty" do
    subject.should eq([])
  end
end

When

I run "rspec ./top_level_subject_spec.rb"

Then

the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures"

Given

a file named "nested_subject_spec.rb" with:

describe Array do
  describe "when first created" do
    it "should be empty" do
      subject.should eq([])
    end
  end
end

When

I run "rspec nested_subject_spec.rb"

Then

the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures"
