Support simple parameterized test syntax in rspec.
# Nested Array Style
describe "plus" do
where(:a, :b, :answer) do
[
[1 , 2 , 3],
[5 , 8 , 13],
[0 , 0 , 0]
]
end

# Can browse parameters via `params` method in with_them block
# Can browse all parameters via `all_params` method in with_them block
it "#{params[:a]} + #{params[:b]} == #{params[:answer]}" do
expect(a + b).to eq answer
end
end
end
# Hash and Array Style
# Given parameters is each value combinations
# On this case
# [
# [1, 5, 2],
# [1, 5, 4],
# [1, 7, 2],
# [1, 7, 4],
# [1, 9, 2],
# [1, 9, 4],

describe "Hash arguments" do
where(a: [1, 3], b: [5, 7, 9], c: [2, 4])
with_them do
it "sums is even" do
expect(a + b + c).to be_even
end
end
end
# Table Syntax Style (like Groovy spock)
# Need ruby-2.1 or later
describe "plus" do
using RSpec::Parameterized::TableSyntax
where(:a, :b, :answer) do
1 | 2 | 3
5 | 8 | 13
0 | 0 | 0
end
with_them do
it "should do additions" do
expect(a + b).to eq answer
end
end
end
# Verbose Syntax
# For complex inputs or if you just want to be super explicit
describe "Verbose syntax" do
where do
{
"positive integers" => {
a: 1,
b: 2,
answer: 3,
},
"negative_integers" => {
a: -1,
b: -2,
answer: -3,

a: 3,
b: -3,
answer: 0,
},
}
end
with_them do
it "should do additions" do
expect(a + b).to eq answer
end
end
end
# It's also possible to override each combination name using magic variable :case_name
# Output:
# Custom names for regular syntax
# positive integers
# should do additions
# negative integers
# should do additions
# mixed integers
# should do additions
describe "Custom names for regular syntax" do
where(:case_name, :a, :b, :answer) do
[
["positive integers", 6, 2, 8],
["negative integers", -1, -2, -3],
["mixed integers", -5, 3, -2],
]
end
with_them do
it "should do additions" do
expect(a + b).to eq answer
end
end
end
# Or :case_names lambda for hash syntax
# Output:
# Custom naming for hash syntax
# 1 + 5 + 2
# sum is even
# 1 + 5 + 4
# sum is even
# 1 + 7 + 2
# sum is even
# ...
describe "Custom naming for hash syntax" do
where(case_names: ->(a, b, c){"#{a} + #{b} + #{c}"}, a: [1, 3], b: [5, 7, 9], c: [2, 4])
with_them do
it "sum is even" do
expect(a + b + c).to be_even
end
end
end
# Use ref(:symbol) to use let/let! defined variables in the where block
# Use lazy when you want to create let/let! variables after the where block
#
# Failures will be more readable in the future - https://github.com/tomykaira/rspec-parameterized/pull/65
describe "lazy and ref types" do
let(:one) { 1 }
let(:four) { 4 }
where(:a, :b, :result) do
[
[ref(:one), ref(:four), lazy { two + three }]
]
end
with_them do
context "use let after where block" do
let(:two) { 2 }
let(:three) { 3 }
it 'should equal 5' do
expect(a + b).to eq result
end
end
end

I was inspired by udzura's mock.
