Question

Is there a better way to format this test to make it more readable?

expect { 
  within '.foo' do
    click_link 'Delete'
  end
}.to change {Foo.count}.by 1

expect do...end works, but is even uglier…

Answer 1

Maybe something like this?

expected = expect do
  within '.foo' do
    click_link 'Delete'
  end
end

expected.to change { Foo.count }.by 1

Not exactly pretty, but reduces some of the line noise.
