Hi
I found that if I set assigns[:variables] in a spec, the value is
maintained
in subsequent specs.
Example
rails helper method:
def return_at_variable
@variable
end
Specs:
#this passes obviously
it ‘should return true if assigns[:variable] is true’ do
assigns[:variable] = true
helper.return_at_variable.should be_true
end
#this does not pass
it ‘should return nil becasue assigns[:variable] is not set’ do
helper.return_at_variable.should be_nil
end
‘’ FAILED
expected nil? to return true, got false
In this case both tests pass:
it ‘should return true if assigns[:variable] is true’ do
assigns[:variable] = true
helper.return_at_variable.should be_true
end
it ‘should return nil becasue assigns[:variable] is not set’ do
helper.return_at_variable.should be_true
end
Getting around this is simple enough - by just clearing/declaring the
assigs[:variables] where ever I need to, but I am wondering if this is
normal behaviour?
