Instance Method Details

#expect(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

The #expect method is a convenient tool for defining certain sets of expectations in your specifications.

Expect is used to expect a result from a block of code. If the argument to expect is a subclass of Exception or instance thereof, then the block is monitored for the raising of such an exception.

expect StandardError do
  raise ArgumentError
end

All other expectations are compared using case equality (#===). This allows one to verify matching Regexp.

expect /x/ do
  "x"
end

As well as checking that an object is an instance of a given Class.

expect String do
  "x"
end

Like #assert it can be used to designate an expectation via a functor.

#expect!(*args, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: forbid

Designate a negated expectation. Read this as “expect not”.

See #expect.

  Assertor.new(self, :backtrace=>caller).not.expect(*args, &block)
end

#expected(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Like #expect but uses the reciever as the object of expectation.

Examples:

/x/.expected do
  "oooxooo"
end
