Rspec Notes

Notes about rspec which I find interesting.

How to run

Assuming you are using bundler, otherwise just ignore bundle exec and call rspec directly

$ bundle exec rspec <rspec_file>
$ bundle exec rspec <rspec_file>:<line_number>

Describe and Context

Difference between describe and context ? There’s no functional difference, they are interchangeable

But usually context is used to describe the condition, e.g. not full date selected

Rspec as documentation

Test cases can be used as documentations for the application/project you are working for. In rspec, you can run below command to list the tests as documentation.

$ bundle exec rspec -fd <filename>

Club::MatchHistory
  #match_history
    should return an empty array if there are no matches for the club
    should return all matches for the current season
    should not return a future match
