Instance Method Summary

Instance Method Detail

def after_all(&block) #

Executes the given block after all specs in a given description or #context run.


[View source]
def after_each(&block) #

Executes the given block after each spec runs.


[View source]
def around_all(&block : ExampleGroup::Procsy -> ) #

Executes the given block when each #describe or #context runs.

The block must call run on the given Context::Procsy object.

For example:

require "spec"

describe "something" do
  around_all do |context|
    puts "before describe runs"
    example.run
    puts "after describe runs"
  end

  it "tests something" do
    # ...
  end
end

[View source]
def around_each(&block : Example::Procsy -> ) #

Executes the given block when each spec runs.

The block must call run on the given Example::Procsy object.

For example:

require "spec"

describe "something" do
  around_each do |example|
    puts "before example runs"
    example.run
    puts "after example runs"
  end

  it "tests something" do
    # ...
  end
end

def assert(file = __FILE__, line = __LINE__, end_line = __END_LINE__, &) #

DEPRECATED Use #it


[View source]
def before_all(&block) #

Executes the given block before all specs in a given description or #context run.


[View source]
def before_each(&block) #

Executes the given block before each spec runs.

def context(description, file = __FILE__, line = __LINE__, end_line = __END_LINE__, focus : Bool = false, tags : String | Enumerable(String) | Nil = nil, &block) #

Defines an example group that establishes a specific context, like empty array versus array with elements. Inside &block examples are defined by #it or #pending.

It is functionally equivalent to #describe.

If focus is true, only this #context, and others marked with focus: true, will run.


[View source]
def describe(description, file = __FILE__, line = __LINE__, end_line = __END_LINE__, focus : Bool = false, tags : String | Enumerable(String) | Nil = nil, &block) #

Defines an example group that describes a unit to be tested. Inside &block examples are defined by #it or #pending.

Several #describe blocks can be nested.

Example:

describe "Int32" do
  describe "+" do
    it "adds" { (1 + 1).should eq 2 }
  end
end

If focus is true, only this #describe, and others marked with focus: true, will run.

def fail(msg, file = __FILE__, line = __LINE__) #

Fails an example.

This method can be used to manually fail an example defined in an #it block.


[View source]
def it(description = "assert", file = __FILE__, line = __LINE__, end_line = __END_LINE__, focus : Bool = false, tags : String | Enumerable(String) | Nil = nil, &block) #

Defines a concrete test case.

The test is performed by the block supplied to &block.

Example:

it "adds" { (1 + 1).should eq 2 }

It is usually used inside a #describe or #context section.

If focus is true, only this test, and others marked with focus: true, will run.


[View source]
def pending(description = "assert", file = __FILE__, line = __LINE__, end_line = __END_LINE__, focus : Bool = false, tags : String | Enumerable(String) | Nil = nil, &) #

Defines a pending test case.

&block is never evaluated. It can be used to describe behaviour that is not yet implemented.

Example:

pending "check cat" { cat.alive? }

It is usually used inside a #describe or #context section.

If focus is true, only this test, and others marked with focus: true, will run.


[View source]
def pending(description = "assert", file = __FILE__, line = __LINE__, end_line = __END_LINE__, focus : Bool = false, tags : String | Enumerable(String) | Nil = nil) #

Defines a yet-to-be-implemented pending test case

If focus is true, only this test, and others marked with focus: true, will run.
