This sounds awesome. Are there any full examples? I could only see unit
tests in the code.

Aye, that’s what I figured :slight_smile: I’ve wished for that for a long time.

I’m away for a bit but I’ll see if I get chance soon.

The basic idea is:

shared_examples Enumerable do
describe “#count” do
it “returns 0 by default” do
subject.count.should eq(0)
end
end
end

describe SpecialCollection do
it_behaves_like Enumerable
end
