Module Kernel
In: lib/spec/runner/extensions/kernel.rb

Methods

Public Instance methods

context(*args, &block)

Alias for describe

Creates and registers an instance of a Spec::DSL::Behaviour (or a subclass). The instantiated behaviour class depends on the directory of the file calling this method. For example, Spec::Rails will use different classes for specs living in spec/models, spec/helpers, spec/views and spec/controllers.

It is also possible to override autodiscovery of the behaviour class with an options Hash as the last argument:

  describe "name", :behaviour_type => :something_special do ...

The reason for using different behaviour classes is to have different matcher methods available from within the describe block.

See Spec::DSL::BehaviourFactory#add_behaviour_class for details about how to register special Spec::DSL::Behaviour implementations.
