Given the following ApplicationController specs: describe ApplicationController, "one facet", :shared => true do it 'foo' ... it 'bar' ... end
describe ApplicationController, "some other facet", :shared => true do it 'abc' ... it 'xyz' ... end describe ApplicationController, :shared => true do it_should_behave_like 'ApplicationController one facet' it_should_behave_like 'ApplicationController some other facet' end And corresponding ApplicationController subclass specs: describe OtherController do it_should_behave_like 'ApplicationController' end Both of the shared behaviour blocks get executed twice when running the subclass specs; the specdoc output looks like: OtherController - foo - bar - abc - xyz - abc - xyz - foo - bar And note that it's running the shared behaviours in this order: - 'one facet' - 'some other facet' - 'some other facet' - 'one facet' Not actually a big deal; seeing as the specs don't have any side- effects and running them twice is harmless, and in any case getting rid of the nesting (putting all the specs in a single shared behaviour block) gets rid of the duplicate. But I'm wondering, is this a bug? Feature? Am I abusing shared behaviours?
