Methods not available

Testing RSpec
1

Hi all. Noticed that with rspec 1.x

methods at “higher levels” aren’t available in lower, ex:

context “a” do
def go
end

it “should pass” do
go
end

it “should pass again” do
context “a::b” do
go
end
end

end

This surprised me a bit, making re-use of outer methods unavailable.
Is it expected?

Thanks!

You can’t wrap contexts inside examples.

This should work:

describe “a” do
def go; end
context “b” do
it “should access go” do
go
end
end
end

Cool thanks for the reply.
The confusing part is that it allowed me to have that context within
an example.

Maybe a more explicit failure for newbies when they do this would be
kind.
