Hi Jack
Sorry for the delayed response but..
let(:perform) { get … }
Works for this, performs take a block and cache the result the equivalent (ish)
of
def perform
@result ||= begin
get …
end
end
You could also just define a method if you don’t want caching or want to rescue
exceptions etc.
Cheers
Jon Rowe
