Custom matcher, use other helpers and matchers from rspec-rails

Testing RSpec

Hi,

I am creating an improved version of route_for that is more intuitive to
me.
However, I keep getting NoMethodError exceptions, so am trying to find
all
the includes I have to put into my class.

What’s the best way to import the necessary classes to use rspec-rails
assertions and helpers?

There’s not really a single mechanism for that at this point because
rspec-rails isn’t really designed to be the basis for extensions of
itself.

Can you be more specific about which methods are not being found? Are
they all from rspec-rails? Are some from rails directly?

itself.

I can’t remember everything, but first was route_for, so I included
Spec::Rails::Example::RoutingHelpers. Then assert_recognizes, and I
can’t
remember exactly what I included for that at first. Then
clean_backtrace,
and I found the module for that, then build_message.

Then I gave up, and was trying to find a parent module that would just
include all of that, because it doesn’t make sense I’d have to include
so
many different things to make it work.

Yeah - unfortunately, you’re kinda stuck with that for the moment cuz
there is no parent module. :frowning:
