I just upgraded RSpec and noticed that some of my specs started to fail
and
it is caused by the 1.1.2 update where implicit receiver for should is
introduced.
Here is one sample example group, which works with older versions
naturally.
describe “example group” do
it “example” do
should be_ok
end
def ok?
true
end
end
And gets NoMethodError of course. I tried different things to set as
subject, but was unlucky. For example, subject {self} caused
SystemStackError although I hoped that this does the trick, since self
has
method ok? as expected.
I also noticed that there is accessor for subject, so I tried something
like
this instead of def ok?:
def subject.ok?
true
end
Why doesn’t it work? It works when doing like this:
s = “str”
def s.ok?; true; end
s.ok? # true
I found only one way to fix them like this:
class String
def ok?
true
end
end
Of course I’m not happy with that solution 
What are my options to fix these specs? It seems to me that most logical
functionality to this problem would be to make the subject {self} line
to
work as expected.
