Suppose I create an Rspec shared example group with one parameter (the
business purpose of the tests are irrelevant, it is an overly simplified
version of my current codebase):
it "does something" do
puts "parameter=#{parameter}"
print_the_parameter
end
def print_the_parameter
puts "parameter=#{parameter}"
end
I am able to access the parameter as a variable just fine with the it test
block. However, I am running into an "undefined local variable or method"
when I try to access parameter from a method. Why is that? I have proven in
my codebase (and is prevalently shown in Rspec documentation) that the
parameter is available in test blocks, lifecycle methods like before, and
in let variable declarations. But why not helper methods?
Thank you.
