Overview

Decorator that wraps a matcher and overrides #description using the provided block in order to support an alias of a matcher. This is intended for use when composing matchers, so that you can use an expression like ‘include( a_value_within(0.1).of(3) )` rather than `include( be_within(0.1).of(3) )`, and have the corresponding description read naturally.

Instance Method Summary

MatcherDelegator - Inherited

Composable - Included

#&

Alias for Composable#and.

#===

Delegates to #matches?.

#and

Creates a compound and expectation.

#description_of

Returns the description of the given object in a way that is aware of composed matchers.

#or

Creates a compound or expectation.

#values_match?

This provides a generic way to fuzzy-match an expected value against an actual value.

#|

Alias for Composable#or.

#should_enumerate?

We should enumerate arrays as long as they are not recursive.

#surface_descriptions_in

Transforms the given data structure (typically a hash or array) into a new data structure that, when #inspect is called on it, will provide descriptions of any contained matchers rather than the normal #inspect output.

#unreadable_io?,
#with_matchers_cloned

Historically, a single matcher instance was only checked against a single value.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing

Forward messages on to the wrapped matcher. Since many matchers provide a fluent interface (e.g. ‘a_value_within(0.1).of(3)`), we need to wrap the returned value if it responds to #description, so that our override can be applied when it is eventually used.

Instance Method Details

#description

Provides the description of the aliased matcher. Aliased matchers are designed to behave identically to the original matcher except for the description and failure messages. The description is different to reflect the aliased name.

# File 'rspec-expectations/lib/rspec/matchers/aliased_matcher.rb', line 36

def description
  @description_block.call(super)
end

#failure_message

Provides the failure_message of the aliased matcher. Aliased matchers are designed to behave identically to the original matcher except for the description and failure messages. The failure_message is different to reflect the aliased name.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'rspec-expectations/lib/rspec/matchers/aliased_matcher.rb', line 46

def failure_message
  @description_block.call(super)
end

#failure_message_when_negated

Provides the failure_message_when_negated of the aliased matcher. Aliased matchers are designed to behave identically to the original matcher except for the description and failure messages. The failure_message_when_negated is different to reflect the aliased name.
