How does this even work? shared_examples_for is not defined in Module, so
unless you're leaving something important out, that should raise an error.

There are two ways you can do this:
shared_examples "stuff" do
before { ... }
let(:name) { value }
it "does something" do
# ..
end
end
As long as this file is required somewhere (only once, please) you can use
those examples in your gem or any other gem:
describe Something do
it_behaves_like "stuff"
end
You can also define a module:
module SharedExamples
extend RSpec::Core::SharedContext
before { ... }
let(:name) { value }
it "does something" do
# ..
end
end
Now you can do a standard Ruby include
describe Something do
include SharedExamples
end
