Instance Method Details

Describe a series of expectations for a given target desc
.
Defines a test class subclassing from either ::Minitest::Spec or from the surrounding describe's class. The surrounding class may subclass ::Minitest::Spec manually in order to easily share code:
class MySpec < Minitest::Spec
# ... shared code ...
end
class TestStuff < MySpec
it "does stuff" do
# shared code available here
end
describe "inner stuff" do
it "still does stuff" do
# ...and here
end
end
end
