description for described_class

vishnunarang ยท Dec 9, 2013

= Here is an example to understand described_class If while describing the rspec, we use a Class name in the describe part, we can use described_class method to refer to that and use it as a class in the specs within that description.

Example: describe MyClass do it "is available as described_class" do expect(described_class).to eq(MyClass) end end

So in the above example, described_class method will return MyClass as a class.

It is a part of rspec core 3.0
