Instance Method Details

#should(matcher = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

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
