Hi Tom,
This sounds a bit like you are "testing the framework". I tend to find
tests which assert the framework did its job correctly of low value.
If your public methods, which are part of your classes interface need
testing, specify what is interesting about those methods.
These methods could probably be covered by other explicit tests, where
there is logic to be tested.
If you have a •lot• of accessor methods which you do want to test, remember
that rspec is "just" ruby, and you can generate test cases
programmatically.
Note that you need to put the context inside the each loop in rspec, or
your spec contexts get clobbered.
%w( foo bar baz ).each do |accessor_method|
context "#{accessor_method} reads and writes" do
...
Cheers
