Question

In some Rspec model specs, we have several tests like this:

it { should have_many(:labels) }

Unfortunately, we also have a hook that runs before validation which causes an error when the object hasn’t been set up.

Is it possible for me to set the value of “it” for these tests? I want to give it a properly initialized object so that my pre-validation hooks don’t cause problems.

Like this?

describe "#validations" do
    subject { Factory.build :some_model }
    it { should have_many(:labels) }
end
