Overview

Checks for explicitly referenced test subjects.

RSpec lets you declare an “implicit subject” using ‘subject { … }` which allows for tests like `it { should be_valid }`. If you need to reference your test subject you should explicitly name it using `subject(:your_subject_name) { … }`. Your test subjects should be the most important object in your tests so they deserve a descriptive name.

Examples:

# bad
RSpec.describe User do
  subject { described_class.new }

  it 'is valid' do
    expect(subject.valid?).to be(true)
  end
end

# good
RSpec.describe Foo do
  subject(:user) { described_class.new }

  it 'is valid' do
    expect(user.valid?).to be(true)
  end
end

# also good
RSpec.describe Foo do
  subject(:user) { described_class.new }

  it { should be_valid }
end
