> 1/ What is the best way to make a gem containing shared contexts/examples
You’re probably going to want to create a bunch of modules that define the shared examples when included, the benefit of this is that it will allow you to control which scopes they are defined in without risking stomping over any existing examples at the top level. For 2) I’d just test the shared examples in the gems own test suite, given whatever context they should pass, you could use the `pending` flag for contexts that are expected to fail. If you wanted to go fully comprehensive you’ll need to go down the smoke test / sand boxed route with running the suites within rspec itself, you can see how we’ve done this in the main test suites but its a lot more complex.
