Array_including()

Testing RSpec
1

I found myself having to write this today:

class ArrayMatcher

def initialize(array_to_match)
@array_to_match = array_to_match
end

def ==(other)

 ok = true

 @array_to_match.each do |item|
   ok = ok and other.include?(item)
 end

 ok

end

end

def array_including(array_to_match)
ArrayMatcher.new(array_to_match)
end

Is there already something in the framework that does this?

cheers,

On a similar vein, is there a neater way to express:

assigns[:events].include?(@event_1).should be_true

Hello,

I believe Pat M. has implemented a matcher that does the same thing
but there has been a battle to find out what to call it:

However I’ve not seen it in source yet.
