Shoulda-Kept-Assign-To

By Tinfoil Security

Shoulda-matchers (official Git repo) removed the assign_to matcher in version 2.0.0. We missed it dearly, enough to bring it back. This gem adds the assign_to matcher back in and includes, by reference, all the rest of the shoulda-matchers – just the way it was before it was mercilessly destroyed.

Example (from shoulda-matchers, v1.5)

describe PostsController, "#show" do
  it { should permit(:title, :body).for(:create) }

  context "for a fictional user" do
    before do
      get :show, :id => 1
    end

    it { should assign_to(:user) }
  end
end

Installation

In Rails 3 and Bundler, add the following to your Gemfile:

group :test do
  gem "shoulda-kept-assign-to"
end

Shoulda will automatically include matchers into the appropriate example groups.
