Thank you.
Here is what I did to conform my gem spec to the conventions suggested
at
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-core/docs/example-groups/shared-examples...
my spec/spec_helper.rb...
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.dirname(__FILE__))
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', 'lib'))
# Dir["spec/support/**/*.rb"].each {|f| require f} # this did not
work...
require 'rubygems'
require 'rum_92265'
require 'rspec'
require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'support/shared_examples' # this did
now, at the top of in lib/rum_92265.rb...
require "rum_92265/version"
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../spec/support/shared_examples.rb"
finally, here are the top lines of the spec/support/
shared_sample.rb...
extend RSpec::Core::SharedContext
shared_examples_for "Rum92265::A3::PartB" do
...
Anyway, I hadn't seen any gems with shared example groups exposed, so
this was the best I could come up with -- it worked. It seems weird to
require shared_samples.rb from the lib directory, but I couldn't see
where else -- gemspec, for example? -- to require it.
