Constant resolution fails in describes inside of modules using rspec 2 on ruby 1.9.1

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

I’ve converted a couple of my smaller libraries’ spec suites to rspec 2
with no trouble. (I’m enjoying the new version – thanks to all
involved.) I’m trying to convert one a larger suite now and I’ve run
into two problems on ruby 1.9.1 (but not 1.8.7) related to constant
resolution in describes inside of modules. One of the problems haven’t
been able to reproduce in a simple test case, but the other one I have.
Here’s the reproducible one:

---- baz_spec.rb

module Foo
module Quux
class Baz
def name
“noise”
end
end
end
end

module Foo::Quux
describe Baz do
it “has a name” do
Baz.new.name.should == ‘noise’
end
end
end

----

This spec passes on rspec 2.0.1 and 1.3.0 on Ruby 1.8.7:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i686-darwin10.4.0]
$ spec 1.3.0 baz_spec.rb
.

Finished in 0.002011 seconds

1 example, 0 failures
$ rspec 2.0.1 baz_spec.rb
.

Finished in 0.00077 seconds
1 example, 0 failures

It also passes on rspec 1.3.0 on Ruby 1.9.1. On rspec 2.0.1, it fails:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-darwin10.3.0]
$ spec 1.3.0 baz_spec.rb
.

Finished in 0.020187 seconds

1 example, 0 failures
$ rspec 2.0.1 baz_spec.rb
F

Failures:

  1. Foo::Quux::Baz has a name
    Failure/Error: Baz.new.name.should == ‘noise’
    uninitialized constant RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Baz

    ./baz_spec.rb:14:in `block (2 levels) in module:Quux’

Finished in 0.00159 seconds
1 example, 1 failure

Is this a bug or expected behavior in rspec 2? I’ll file an issue if
it’s a bug – this would be against rspec-core, correct?

Thanks,
Rhett

Use ruby 1.9.2 - sorry on my iphone

You can reorganize it a bit in a way that will work on 1.8.7, 1.9.1
and 1.9.2:

module Foo
module Quux
class Baz
def name
“noise”
end
end
end
end

describe Foo::Quux::Baz do
it “has a name” do
described_class.new.name.should == ‘noise’
end
end
