Is there a way to call my helper method from outside of an #it
block? Here's the code:

It looks like you want those methods in your module as class method,
not instance methods. Try extending, not including, your module
(extend AuthSpecHelpers.) You might want to read my post about
creating rspec macros as well:

After digesting that post again, especially the contents of
#self.included , I noticed that one could alternatively do this:
module AssignMacro
def self.extended(receiver)
receiver.extend ExampleGroupMethods
receiver.send :include, ExampleMethods
end
end
describe UserPhotosController do
describe "GET 'users/1/photos/2'" do
extend AssignMacro
# ...
end
end
Is one approach more preferable? Or should one do this so that both
"include AssignMacro" and "extend AssignMacro" give the same, desired,
result?:
module AssignMacro
def self.included(receiver)
receiver.extend ExampleGroupMethods
receiver.send :include, ExampleMethods
end
class << self
alias_method :extended, :included
end
end
Thanks for your input, guys.
