Sets the default ExampleGroup class

# File lib/spec/example/example_group_factory.rb, line 53
        def default(example_group_class)
          Spec.__send__ :remove_const, :ExampleGroup if Spec.const_defined?(:ExampleGroup)
          Spec.const_set(:ExampleGroup, example_group_class)
          old = @example_group_types
          @example_group_types = Hash.new(example_group_class)
          @example_group_types.merge!(old) if old

example_group_creation_listeners ()
[show source] 
# File lib/spec/example/example_group_factory.rb, line 11
        def example_group_creation_listeners
          @example_group_creation_listeners ||= []
        end
register (key, example_group_class)

Registers an example group class klass with the symbol type. For example: 

Spec::Example::ExampleGroupFactory.register(:farm, FarmExampleGroup)

With that you can append a hash with :type => :farm to the describe method and it will load an instance of FarmExampleGroup. 

describe Pig, :type => :farm do
  ...

If you don’t use the hash explicitly, describe will implicitly use an instance of FarmExampleGroup for any file loaded from the ./spec/farm directory.
