What is the main RSpec configuration file in a Rails application?

Відповідь

The spec/spec_helper.rb file (or spec/rails_helper.rb for Rails tests) is the main RSpec configuration file. It loads the test environment and configures global RSpec options. In modern Rails projects, rails_helper.rb loads spec_helper.rb and adds Rails-specific configurations like loading the test environment and Rails helpers.

What is the correct syntax to define a test block (example) in RSpec?

Відповідь

In RSpec, an individual test is defined with it or specify followed by a description in quotes and a block. The syntax it 'description' do ... end is most common. The describe or context block groups related tests, while it defines a specific example. This natural English-readable syntax is one of RSpec's strengths.

3

What is the difference between describe and context in RSpec?

Відповідь

describe and context are functionally identical in RSpec, but follow different semantic conventions. describe is used to describe what is being tested (a class, a method), while context describes the conditions or circumstances of the test. For example, describe User followed by context 'when email is valid'. This distinction improves spec readability.
