yard-examples-from-rspec¶ ↑

Yard plugin to include examples in the generated doc through rspec

Installation¶ ↑

In order to install it you just have to install it gem from gemcutter

gem install yard-examples-from-rspec

Description¶ ↑

This plugin simply includes an example tag and recreates it with the source code that corresponds to an example called “works this way”. This have to be defined inside a describe block called “#method_name” that, in turn, has to be defined in a describe block with the class name, i.e. the regular way people use rspec when testing objects.

So, for example,

Given this source code:

class Foo
  ##
  # This is a foo method with an example
  # @rspec_example
  def foo_method
  end
end

And this spec:

describe Foo do
  describe "#foo_method" do 
    it "works this way" do
      this = "is"
      # The code that will be included in the example
    end
  end
end

A result like this is to be expected

class Foo
  ##
  # This is a foo method with an example
  # @example
  #   this = "is"
  #   # The code that will be included in the example
  def foo_method
  end
end

Using it¶ ↑

In order to use it, you just have to add the –plugin param plus yours

yardoc --plugin examples-from-rspec [OPTS]

Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
