In RSpec, using let variable inside before :all block

by

I had the same problem, I have solved it by declaring all my variables as attributes inside the before block: describe ‘index’ before(:all) do @company = FactoryGirl.create(:company) @user = FactoryGirl.create(:user, company: @company) sign_in @user visit products_path end … end Now you can use @user and @company inside your tests, and you shouldn’t have any warnings.

The reason it does not work with it_behaves_like as a parameter has to do with how let() gets defined. Each example group in Rspec defines a custom class. let() defines an instance method in that … Read more

How to test that a certain function uses a transaction in Rails and rspec 2

You should look at the problem from a different perspective. Testing whether a function uses a transaction is useless from a behavioral viewpoint.

Rspec run all tests except a specific folder

by

Use an –exclude-pattern, they’re quite convenient: https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-core/v/3-3/docs/configuration/exclude-pattern One of the nice things about them: The –exclude-pattern flag accepts shell style glob unions So you could do something like rspec –exclude-pattern “spec/{foldername1,foldername2}/**/*_spec.rb”
