To add a collaborator to this project you will need to use the Relish gem to add the collaborator via a terminal command. Soon you'll be able to also add collaborators here!
More about adding a collaboratorbasic structure (describe/it)
RSpec is a DSL for creating executable examples of how code is expected to
behave, organized in groups. It uses the words "describe" and "it" so we can
express concepts like a conversation:
"Describe an account when it is first opened."
"It has a balance of zero."
The describe() method creates a subclass of RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup. The
block passed to describe() is evaluated in the context of that class, so any
class methods of ExampleGroup are at your disposal within that block.
Within a group, you can declare nested groups using the describe() or
context() methods. A nested group is actually a subclass of the outer group,
so it has access to same methods as the outer group, as well as any class
methods defined in the outer group.
The it() method accepts a block, which is later executed in the context of
an instance of the group in which it is declared.
- Scenarios
-
- one group, one example
-
- Given
-
a file named "sample_spec.rb" with:
describe "something" do it "does something" do end end - When
- I run "rspec sample_spec.rb -fn"
- Then
-
the output should contain:
something does something
- nested example groups (using context)
-
- Given
-
a file named "nested_example_groups_spec.rb" with:
describe "something" do context "in one context" do it "does one thing" do end end context "in another context" do it "does another thing" do end end end - When
- I run "rspec nested_example_groups_spec.rb -fdoc"
- Then
-
the output should contain:
something in one context does one thing in another context does another thing
