That's not saying it can't find the macro method. It says it can't find `get`.
The macro is being evaluated at the class level, whereas "get" is an
instance method. The macro needs to define examples that use the get
method, e.g:
def it_should_check_minimum_protected_api_params(url)
it "should check minimum protected api params" do
get url
# ...
end
end
