Fragile Test
Definition:
Tests which seem to break when they shouldn’t
Also Known As:
Brittle Test
Code Example:
describe Post do
let(:user) { build_stubbed(:user) }
let(:title) { "Example Post" }
subject(:post) { build_stubbed(:post, user: user, title: title) }
# ...
context "with an author" do
let(:user) { build_stubbed(:user, name: "Willy") }
it "returns the author's name" do
expect(post.author_name).to eq("Willy")
end
end
end
