Hi,
I'm using Rails 3.1.3, rspec-rails 2.9.0, and Ruby 1.9.3p0.
I've been getting recursive errors, where one error is reported
multiple times. It's quite spectacular in a long suite, with the
errors overflowing the console buffer. I've whittled down a simple
example:
require 'spec_helper'
describe "public pages" do
subject { page }
describe "details page" do
before do
visit root_path
end
describe "when visiting a second page before example" do
before { visit sign_in_path }
it { should have_link("Sign in") }
end
end
end
The error here is that "sign_in_path" should really be "signin_path".
But I get that error five times, and when I run with --format
documentation, it looks like RSpec is generating it recursively before
it "blows up" with a stack trace (see output below).
Obviously this test doesn't really need two before blocks, but
sometimes I do want to visit two pages before a test.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
