module RSpec
# RSpec::Matchers provides a number of useful matchers we use to define
# expectations. A matcher is any object that responds to the following:
#
# matches?(actual)
# failure_message_for_should
#
# These methods are also part of the matcher protocol, but are optional:
#
# does_not_match?(actual)
# failure_message_for_should_not
# description
#
# ## Predicates
#
# In addition to matchers that are defined explicitly, RSpec will create
# custom matchers on the fly for any arbitrary predicate, giving your specs a
# much more natural language feel.
#
# A Ruby predicate is a method that ends with a "?" and returns true or false.
# Common examples are `empty?`, `nil?`, and `instance_of?`.
#
# All you need to do is write `expect(..).to be_` followed by the predicate
# without the question mark, and RSpec will figure it out from there.
# For example:
#
# expect([]).to be_empty # => [].empty?() | passes
# expect([]).not_to be_empty # => [].empty?() | fails
#
# In addtion to prefixing the predicate matchers with "be_", you can also use "be_a_"
# and "be_an_", making your specs read much more naturally:
#
# expect("a string").to be_an_instance_of(String) # =>"a string".instance_of?(String) # passes
#
# expect(3).to be_a_kind_of(Fixnum) # => 3.kind_of?(Numeric) | passes
# expect(3).to be_a_kind_of(Numeric) # => 3.kind_of?(Numeric) | passes
# expect(3).to be_an_instance_of(Fixnum) # => 3.instance_of?(Fixnum) | passes
# expect(3).not_to be_an_instance_of(Numeric) # => 3.instance_of?(Numeric) | fails
#
# RSpec will also create custom matchers for predicates like `has_key?`. To
# use this feature, just state that the object should have_key(:key) and RSpec will
# call has_key?(:key) on the target. For example:
#
# expect(:a => "A").to have_key(:a)
# expect(:a => "A").to have_key(:b) # fails
#
# You can use this feature to invoke any predicate that begins with "has_", whether it is
# part of the Ruby libraries (like `Hash#has_key?`) or a method you wrote on your own class.
#
# ## Custom Matchers
#
# When you find that none of the stock matchers provide a natural feeling
# expectation, you can very easily write your own using RSpec's matcher DSL
# or writing one from scratch.
#
# ### Matcher DSL
#
# Imagine that you are writing a game in which players can be in various
# zones on a virtual board. To specify that bob should be in zone 4, you
# could say:
#
# expect(bob.current_zone).to eql(Zone.new("4"))
#
# But you might find it more expressive to say:
#
# expect(bob).to be_in_zone("4")
#
# and/or
#
# expect(bob).not_to be_in_zone("3")
#
# You can create such a matcher like so:
#
# RSpec::Matchers.define :be_in_zone do |zone|
# match do |player|
# player.in_zone?(zone)
# end
# end
#
# This will generate a be_in_zone method that returns a matcher
# with logical default messages for failures. You can override the failure
# messages and the generated description as follows:
#
# RSpec::Matchers.define :be_in_zone do |zone|
# match do |player|
# player.in_zone?(zone)
# end
#
# failure_message_for_should do |player|
# # generate and return the appropriate string.
# end
#
# failure_message_for_should_not do |player|
# # generate and return the appropriate string.
# end
#
# description do
# # generate and return the appropriate string.
# end
# end
#
# Each of the message-generation methods has access to the block arguments
# passed to the create method (in this case, zone). The
# failure message methods (failure_message_for_should and
# failure_message_for_should_not) are passed the actual value (the
# receiver of expect(..) or expect(..).not_to).
#
# ### Custom Matcher from scratch
#
# You could also write a custom matcher from scratch, as follows:
#
# class BeInZone
# def initialize(expected)
# @expected = expected
# end
#
# def matches?(target)
# @target = target
# @target.current_zone.eql?(Zone.new(@expected))
# end
#
# def failure_message_for_should
# "expected #{@target.inspect} to be in Zone #{@expected}"
# end
#
# def failure_message_for_should_not
# "expected #{@target.inspect} not to be in Zone #{@expected}"
# end
# end
#
# ... and a method like this:
#
# def be_in_zone(expected)
# BeInZone.new(expected)
# end
#
# And then expose the method to your specs. This is normally done
# by including the method and the class in a module, which is then
# included in your spec:
#
# module CustomGameMatchers
# class BeInZone
# # ...
# end
#
# def be_in_zone(expected)
# # ...
# end
# end
#
# describe "Player behaviour" do
# include CustomGameMatchers
# # ...
# end
#
# or you can include in globally in a spec_helper.rb file required
# from your spec file(s):
#
# RSpec::configure do |config|
# config.include(CustomGameMatchers)
# end
