Reloading classes in RSpec August 11, 2008

I had a class where methods could change a class variable’s structure on load. However, RSpec doesn’t reload a class, so testing
these methods is difficult.

One can reload a class inside RSpec by adding a before task:

describe SimplyTabby, "remove_system_information class method" do
  before(:each) do
    Object.send(:remove_const, 'Clazz')
    load 'clazz.rb'
  end

  it "should ..."
	...
  end
end
