Thank you very much! That helps a lot. One more question: is it possible to specify that an example group must be nested within another example group? Say I want to act on controller, so I'd like it to be within a controller example group. Only thing I can think of is to check described_class, but are there any other methods? I'd like to check the class of the group it's nested in.
