Class Attribute Details

.configuration ⇒ void

Returns the global Configuration object. While you can use this method to access the configuration, the more common convention is to use RSpec.configure.

Examples:

RSpec.configuration.drb_port = 1234

See Also:

86
87
 
# File 'lib/rspec/core.rb', line 85
def self.configuration
  @configuration ||= RSpec::Core::Configuration.new
end

.world=(value) ⇒ void

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

end

Class Method Details

.clear_examples ⇒ void

Used to ensure examples get reloaded between multiple runs in the same process and ensures user configuration is persisted.

Users must invoke this if they want to clear all examples but preserve current configuration when they use the runner multiple times within the same process.

# File 'lib/rspec/core.rb', line 70
def self.clear_examples
  world.reset
  configuration.reset_reporter
  configuration.start_time = ::RSpec::Core::Time.now
  configuration.reset_filters
end

.configure {|Configuration| ... } ⇒ void

Yields the global configuration to a block.

Examples:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.add_formatter 'documentation'
end

Yields:

  • (Configuration) —

    global configuration

# File 'lib/rspec/core.rb', line 97
def self.configure
  yield configuration if block_given?
end

.current_example ⇒ void

The example being executed.

The primary audience for this method is library authors who need access to the example currently being executed and also want to support all versions of RSpec 2 and 3.

Examples:


RSpec.configure do |c|
  # context.example is deprecated, but RSpec.current_example is not
  # available until RSpec 3.0.
  fetch_current_example = RSpec.respond_to?(:current_example) ?
    proc { RSpec.current_example } : proc { |context| context.example }
  c.before(:example) do
    example = fetch_current_example.call(self)
    # ...
  end
end
122
123
124
 
# File 'lib/rspec/core.rb', line 122
def self.current_example
  RSpec::Support.thread_local_data[:current_example]
end

.current_example=(example) ⇒ void

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Set the current example being executed.

129
130
 
# File 'lib/rspec/core.rb', line 128
def self.current_example=(example)
  RSpec::Support.thread_local_data[:current_example] = example
end

.current_scope ⇒ Symbol

Get the current RSpec execution scope

Returns (in order of lifecycle):

  • :suite as an initial value, this is outside of the test lifecycle.
  • :before_suite_hook during before(:suite) hooks.
  • :before_context_hook during before(:context) hooks.
  • :before_example_hook during before(:example) hooks and around(:example) before example.run.
  • :example within the example run.
  • :after_example_hook during after(:example) hooks and around(:example) after example.run.
  • :after_context_hook during after(:context) hooks.
  • :after_suite_hook during after(:suite) hooks.
  • :suite as a final value, again this is outside of the test lifecycle.

Reminder, :context hooks have :all alias and :example hooks have :each alias.

Returns:

  • (Symbol)

end

.current_scope=(scope) ⇒ void

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Set the current scope rspec is executing in

# File 'lib/rspec/core.rb', line 134
def self.current_scope=(scope)
  RSpec::Support.thread_local_data[:current_scope] = scope
end

.reset ⇒ void

Used to ensure examples get reloaded and user configuration gets reset to defaults between multiple runs in the same process.

Users must invoke this if they want to have the configuration reset when they use the runner multiple times within the same process. Users must deal themselves with re-configuration of RSpec before run.
