Hey Hongli,
In RSpec 2.14 we added a feature that allows users to scope shared example
groups to the context they are declared in:
http://myronmars.to/n/dev-blog/2013/07/rspec-2-14-is-released#core_shared_example_groups_are_scoped_to_the_context_they_are_defined_in
For backwards compatibility with other 2.x releases, it still supports
using a shared example group from outside the scope if it cannot find it in
the current scope, and prints a deprecation warning in this case.
Unfortunately, there was a slight bug in this that caused the warning to
be wrongly printed in your case. This was reported a bit ago and we have a
fix ready:
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/pull/1023
I plan to cut another 2.14.x patch release soon (probably in the next day
or two) with this fix in it. Sorry for the trouble.
Myron
