Hi all,
Newbie here and I'm using rspec with jruby to test a java class, but
this is
more of a rspec question.
I have a java HashMap object and want to make sure a key exists. I
have this as
my test:
context :toHashMap do
subject { @var_list.toHashMap }
it { should satisfy{|a| a.contains_key?(var1) } }
it { should satisfy{|a| a.contains_key?(var2) } }
it { should satisfy{|a| a.contains_key?(var3) } }
end
@var_list is set to another java object that has a method toHashMap
that returns
a HashMap. var1, var2 and var3 are set using let(:var1), etc. If the
one of
these fails, I get this telling me that I need to supply a description
method:
>>>>>>
'Java::LibraryLanguage::XmlVariableList when added duplicate variables
with
different values toHashMap should When you call a matcher in an
example without
a String, like this:
specify { object.should matcher }
or this:
it { should matcher }
RSpec expects the matcher to have a #description method. You should
either
add a String to the example this matcher is being used in, or give it
a
description method. Then you won't have to suffer this lengthy warning
again.
' FAILED
expected {var01=2, var02=this-is-a-string} to satisfy block
<<<<<<<
I'd like to put 'contain the key <blah>' in place of 'When you call a
matcher in
an example without a String'
Where do I put that string? I thought I could just do:
it "should contain the key #{var1}" { should satisify{|a|
a.contains_key?(var1)
} }
But, the loading complains on that. Where can a put a custom
description into
this code (easily/polite way).
Thanks,
GregD
