Basic Test Structure

Tests for data type aliases should be placed under spec/type_aliases. For example, the tests for the MyModule::Shape type alias would be placed in spec/type_aliases/mymodule_shape_spec.rb.

require 'spec_helper'

describe 'MyModule::Shape' do
  # tests go here
end

Testing The Allowed Value(s)

The allow_value matcher is used to test how the type alias behaves when given a particular value.

it { is_expected.to allow_value('square') }

Multiple values can be provided in a single test using the allow_values matcher

it { is_expected.to allow_values('circle', 'triangle') }

Testing Disallowed Values

You can negate the allow_value matcher to test expected failure cases.

it { is_expected.not_to allow_values('line', 'point') }
