Module Kernel

Start a debugging session if ruby-debug is loaded with the -u/—debugger option

# File lib/spec/runner/extensions/kernel.rb, line 4
    def debugger(steps=1)
      # If not then just comment and proceed
      $stderr.puts "debugger statement ignored, use -u or --debugger option on rspec to enable debugging"
    end

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

# File lib/spec/expectations/extensions/kernel.rb, line 26
  def should(matcher=nil, &block)
    Spec::Expectations::PositiveExpectationHandler.handle_matcher(self, matcher, &block)
  end

receiver.should_not(matcher)
  => Passes unless matcher.matches?(receiver)

receiver.should_not == expected
  => Passes unless (receiver == expected)

receiver.should_not === expected
  => Passes unless (receiver === expected)

receiver.should_not =~ regexp
  => Passes unless (receiver =~ regexp)
