Avoid the private
keyword in specs.
Avoid checking boolean equality directly. Instead, write predicate methods and
use appropriate matchers. Example .
Prefer eq
to ==
in RSpec.
Separate setup, exercise, verification, and teardown phases with newlines.
Use RSpec's expect
syntax .
Use RSpec's allow
syntax for method stubs.
Use not_to
instead of to_not
in RSpec expectations.
Prefer the have_css
matcher to the have_selector
matcher in Capybara assertions.
Sample
Avoid scenario titles that add no information, such as "successfully."
Avoid scenario titles that repeat the feature title.
Place helper methods for feature specs directly in a top-level Features
module.
Use Capybara's feature/scenario
DSL.
Use names like ROLE_ACTION_spec.rb
, such as
user_changes_password_spec.rb
, for feature spec file names.
Use only one feature
block per feature spec file.
Use scenario titles that describe the success and failure paths.
Use spec/features directory to store feature specs.
Use spec/support/features for support code related to feature specs.
Order factories.rb
contents: sequences, traits, factory definitions.
Order factory attributes: implicit attributes, explicit attributes,
child factory definitions. Each section's attributes are alphabetical.
Order factory definitions alphabetically by factory name.
Use one factories.rb file per project.
Sample
Don't prefix it
block descriptions with should
. Use Imperative mood
instead.
Use subject
blocks to define objects for use in one-line specs.
Example .
Put one-liner specs at the beginning of the outer describe
blocks.
Use .method
to describe class methods and #method
to describe instance
methods.
Use context
to describe testing preconditions.
Use describe '#method_name'
to group tests by method-under-test
Use a single, top-level describe ClassName
block.
Order validation, association, and method tests in the same order that they
appear in the class.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
