Hi!
We tried to upgrade our RSpec from 1.3.1 to 2.6 and are having some
problems. It seems that shared example group includes modules
differently in RSpec 2.
Consider the following code:
module MyModule
def testing
end
end
shared_examples_for “shared” do
include MyModule
it “works” do
testing
end
end
describe “describe” do
it_should_behave_like “shared”
it “works too” do
testing
end
end
When running with RSpec 1.3.1 all specs are passing, but RSpec 2.6
fails with one failure:
- describe works too
Failure/Error: testing
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `testing’ for
#<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1:0x47edee0 @example=nil>
./spec/blah/blah_spec.rb:18
It seems that the describe block doesn’t get the methods included from
the module. How to solve that problem?

This has been through a bit of churn, but here is the short version:
it_should_behave_like creates (and wraps) a nested group, but there is
are also two new include_context/include_examples methods. Your choices
are:
describe “describe” do
it_should_behave_like “shared” do
it “works too” do
testing
end
end
end
describe “describe” do
include_context “shared”
it “works too” do
testing
end
end
describe “describe” do
include_examples “shared”
it “works too” do
testing
end
end
Thank you 
Where can i see the differences between #it_should_behave_like,
#include_context and #include_examples?
