I have a module of custom examples, such as module ControllerHelperMethods module MyExampleGroupMethods def should_set_the_body_id(body_id) it "should set the body id to '#{body_id}'" do assigns[:body_id].should == body_id end end end
def self.included(receiver) receiver.extend MyExampleGroupMethods end end and in spec_helper: Spec::Runner.configure do |config| config.include(ControllerHelperMethods, :type => :controllers) end I have duplicate code in two of my custom examples, so I want to refactor it to a private method, but I can't seem to get the private method to work. I have tried the most obvious way (private keyword followed by the method), and also a couple of more clever approaches that involved doing an instance_eval in self.included. First, should I be able to call private methods in my custom examples? If so, how. Peace.
