In the test below, the Bar and Baz blocks contain identical specs.
Leaving aside why such repetition was necessary in the first place, I'm wondering how one could dry this up.
I tried turning the blocks into objects and calling them under Bar and Baz, but possibly because I did not get the scopes right, I have not been able to make it work.
describe Foo do
describe Bar do
before(:each) do
prepare
end
it "should do something" do
true
end
it "should do something else" do
true
end
end
describe Baz do
before(:each) do
prepare_something_else
end
it "should do something" do
true
end
it "should do something else" do
true
end
end
end
