Feature: implicitly defined subject
If the first argument to an example group is a class, an instance of that
class is exposed to each example in that example group via the `subject`
method.
While the examples below demonstrate how `subject` can be used as a
user-facing concept, we recommend that you reserve it for support of custom
matchers and/or extension libraries that hide its use from examples.
Scenario: `subject` exposed in top level group
Given a file named "top_level_subject_spec.rb" with:
"""ruby
RSpec.describe Array do
it "should be empty when first created" do
expect(subject).to be_empty
end
end
"""
When I run `rspec ./top_level_subject_spec.rb`
Then the examples should all pass
Scenario: `subject` in a nested group
Given a file named "nested_subject_spec.rb" with:
"""ruby
RSpec.describe Array do
describe "when first created" do
it "should be empty" do
expect(subject).to be_empty
end
end
end
"""
When I run `rspec nested_subject_spec.rb`
Then the examples should all pass
Scenario: `subject` in a nested group with a different class (innermost wins)
Given a file named "nested_subject_spec.rb" with:
"""ruby
class ArrayWithOneElement < Array
def initialize(*)
super
unshift "first element"
end
end
RSpec.describe Array do
describe ArrayWithOneElement do
context "referenced as subject" do
it "contains one element" do
expect(subject).to include("first element")
end
end
end
end
"""
When I run `rspec nested_subject_spec.rb`
Then the examples should all pass
