rspec - 为什么 RSpec 匹配器不起作用？

Question

当我使用任何基本匹配器运行这个简单的 RSpec 时，它不起作用:
文件: matcher_spec.rb

describe "a simple RSpec matcher" do
    true.should be_true
end

使用的任何匹配器的输出如下所示:

/private/tmp/rspec_matcher_test/matcher_spec.rb:3:in `block in <top (required)>': undefined local variable or method `be_true' for #<Class:0x007fdcd60ccb40> (NameError)

(是的，我是 answering my own question)

Answer 1

这是因为您忘记了 describe 块下方的“it”块。 RSpec DSL 不知道描述块范围内的匹配器。

要修复它，只需添加一个“it”块:

describe "a simple RSpec matcher" do
  it "should work now" do
    true.should be_true
  end
end
