Small style matter, but I've leaning towards more declarative sounding
example names:
describe User, ".admins" do
it "includes users with admin flag" do
admin = User.create! :admin => true
User.admin.should include(admin)
end
it "excludes users without admin flag" do
non_admin = User.create! :admin => false
User.admin.should_not include(non_admin)
end
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
named_scope :admins, :conditions => {:admin => true}
end
We still have 'should' in the examples, but this produces more
'spec-like' output:
User.admins
includes users with admin flag
excludes users without admin flag
FWIW,
David
