Is it possible to access the described class in a shared behavior? I'm
trying to do something like this:
describe "Siberian feline", :shared => true do
described_class_instance_as :feline, :name => "fluffy", :breed =>
"Siberian"
# or maybe
before(:all) do
@feline = described_class.new(:name => "fluffy", :breed => "Siberian")
end
it "should have long hair" do
@feline.should be_long_haired
end
end
describe SiberianCat, "(a subclass of, say, Cat)" do
it_should_behave_like "Siberian feline"
it "should purr" do
@feline.sound.should == "purr"
end
end
describe SiberianTiger, "(a subclass of BigCat)" do
it_should_behave_like "Siberian feline"
it "should roar" do
@feline.sound.should == "roar"
end
end
I'm looking for something more elegant than my current way, which is like so:
describe "Siberian felines", :shared => true do
before(:all) do
@feline = @klass.new(:name => "fluffy", :breed => "Siberian")
end
it "should have long hair" do
@feline.should be_long_haired
end
end
describe SiberianCat, "(a subclass of, say, Cat)" do
it_should_behave_like "Siberian felines"
before(:all) do
@klass = SiberianCat
end
it "should purr" do
@feline.sound.should == "purr"
end
end
describe SiberianTiger, "(a subclass of BigCat)" do
it_should_behave_like "Siberian felines"
before(:all) do
@klass = SiberanTiger
end
it "should roar" do
@feline.sound.should == "roar"
end
end
Then again, i have a gut feeling that if i took better advantage of
modules it wouldn't be an issue...
