Module Spec::Expectations::ObjectExpectations

  1. lib/spec/expectations/extensions/object.rb

rspec adds should and should_not to every Object (and, implicitly, every Class).

Public instance methods

should(matcher)
should == expected
should === expected
should =~ expected
 
receiver.should(matcher)
  => Passes if matcher.matches?(receiver)

receiver.should == expected #any value
  => Passes if (receiver == expected)

receiver.should === expected #any value
  => Passes if (receiver === expected)

receiver.should =~ regexp
  => Passes if (receiver =~ regexp)

See Spec::Matchers for more information about matchers

Warning

NOTE that this does NOT support receiver.should != expected. Instead, use receiver.should_not == expected
