# RSpec's top level namespace. All of rspec-expectations is contained
# in the `RSpec::Expectations` and `RSpec::Matchers` namespaces.
module RSpec
  # RSpec::Matchers provides a number of useful matchers we use to define
  # expectations. Any object that implements the [matcher protocol](Matchers/MatcherProtocol)
  # can be used as a matcher.
  #
  # ## Predicates
  #
  # In addition to matchers that are defined explicitly, RSpec will create
  # custom matchers on the fly for any arbitrary predicate, giving your specs a
  # much more natural language feel.
  #
  # A Ruby predicate is a method that ends with a "?" and returns true or false.
  # Common examples are `empty?`, `nil?`, and `instance_of?`.
  #
  # All you need to do is write `expect(..).to be_` followed by the predicate
  # without the question mark, and RSpec will figure it out from there.
  # For example:
  #
  #     expect([]).to be_empty     # => [].empty?() | passes
  #     expect([]).not_to be_empty # => [].empty?() | fails
  #
  # In addition to prefixing the predicate matchers with "be_", you can also use "be_a_"
  # and "be_an_", making your specs read much more naturally:
  #
  #     expect("a string").to be_an_instance_of(String) # =>"a string".instance_of?(String) # passes
  #
  #     expect(3).to be_a_kind_of(Integer)          # => 3.kind_of?(Numeric)     | passes
  #     expect(3).to be_a_kind_of(Numeric)          # => 3.kind_of?(Numeric)     | passes
  #     expect(3).to be_an_instance_of(Integer)     # => 3.instance_of?(Integer) | passes
  #     expect(3).not_to be_an_instance_of(Numeric) # => 3.instance_of?(Numeric) | fails
  #
  # RSpec will also create custom matchers for predicates like `has_key?`. To
  # use this feature, just state that the object should have_key(:key) and RSpec will
  # call has_key?(:key) on the target. For example:
  #
  #     expect(:a => "A").to have_key(:a)
  #     expect(:a => "A").to have_key(:b) # fails
  #
  # You can use this feature to invoke any predicate that begins with "has_", whether it is
  # part of the Ruby libraries (like `Hash#has_key?`) or a method you wrote on your own class.
  #
  # Note that RSpec does not provide composable aliases for these dynamic predicate
  # matchers. You can easily define your own aliases, though:
  #
  #     RSpec::Matchers.alias_matcher :a_user_who_is_an_admin, :be_an_admin
  #     expect(user_list).to include(a_user_who_is_an_admin)
  #
  # ## Alias Matchers
  #
  # With {RSpec::Matchers.alias_matcher}, you can easily create an
  # alternate name for a given matcher.
  #
  # The description will also change according to the new name:
  #
  #     RSpec::Matchers.alias_matcher :a_list_that_sums_to, :sum_to
  #     sum_to(3).description # => "sum to 3"
  #     a_list_that_sums_to(3).description # => "a list that sums to 3"
  #
  # or you can specify a custom description like this:
  #
  #     RSpec::Matchers.alias_matcher :a_list_sorted_by, :be_sorted_by do |description|
  #       description.sub("be sorted by", "a list sorted by")
  #     end
  #
  #     be_sorted_by(:age).description # => "be sorted by age"
  #     a_list_sorted_by(:age).description # => "a list sorted by age"
  #
  # ## Custom Matchers
  #
  # When you find that none of the stock matchers provide a natural feeling
  # expectation, you can very easily write your own using RSpec's matcher DSL
  # or writing one from scratch.
  #
  # ### Matcher DSL
  #
  # Imagine that you are writing a game in which players can be in various
  # zones on a virtual board. To specify that bob should be in zone 4, you
  # could say:
  #
  #     expect(bob.current_zone).to eql(Zone.new("4"))
  #
  # But you might find it more expressive to say:
  #
  #     expect(bob).to be_in_zone("4")
  #
  # and/or
  #
  #     expect(bob).not_to be_in_zone("3")
  #
  # You can create such a matcher like so:
  #
  #     RSpec::Matchers.define :be_in_zone do |zone|
  #       match do |player|
  #         player.in_zone?(zone)
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  # This will generate a <tt>be_in_zone</tt> method that returns a matcher
  # with logical default messages for failures. You can override the failure
  # messages and the generated description as follows:
  #
  #     RSpec::Matchers.define :be_in_zone do |zone|
  #       match do |player|
  #         player.in_zone?(zone)
  #       end
  #
  #       failure_message do |player|
  #         # generate and return the appropriate string.
  #       end
  #
  #       failure_message_when_negated do |player|
  #         # generate and return the appropriate string.
  #       end
  #
  #       description do
  #         # generate and return the appropriate string.
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  # Each of the message-generation methods has access to the block arguments
  # passed to the <tt>create</tt> method (in this case, <tt>zone</tt>). The
  # failure message methods (<tt>failure_message</tt> and
  # <tt>failure_message_when_negated</tt>) are passed the actual value (the
  # receiver of <tt>expect(..)</tt> or <tt>expect(..).not_to</tt>).
  #
  # ### Custom Matcher from scratch
  #
  # You could also write a custom matcher from scratch, as follows:
  #
  #     class BeInZone
  #       def initialize(expected)
  #         @expected = expected
  #       end
  #
  #       def matches?(target)
  #         @target = target
  #         @target.current_zone.eql?(Zone.new(@expected))
  #       end
  #
  #       def failure_message
  #         "expected #{@target.inspect} to be in Zone #{@expected}"
  #       end
  #
  #       def failure_message_when_negated
  #         "expected #{@target.inspect} not to be in Zone #{@expected}"
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  # ... and a method like this:
  #
  #     def be_in_zone(expected)
  #       BeInZone.new(expected)
  #     end
  #
  # And then expose the method to your specs. This is normally done
  # by including the method and the class in a module, which is then
  # included in your spec:
  #
  #     module CustomGameMatchers
  #       class BeInZone
  #         # ...
  #       end
  #
  #       def be_in_zone(expected)
  #         # ...
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  #     describe "Player behaviour" do
  #       include CustomGameMatchers
  #       # ...
  #     end
  #
  # or you can include in globally in a spec_helper.rb file <tt>require</tt>d
  # from your spec file(s):
  #
  #     RSpec::configure do |config|
  #       config.include(CustomGameMatchers)
  #     end
  #
  # ### Making custom matchers composable
  #
  # RSpec's built-in matchers are designed to be composed, in expressions like:
  #
  #     expect(["barn", 2.45]).to contain_exactly(
  #       a_value_within(0.1).of(2.5),
  #       a_string_starting_with("bar")
  #     )
  #
  # Custom matchers can easily participate in composed matcher expressions like these.
  # Include {RSpec::Matchers::Composable} in your custom matcher to make it support
  # being composed (matchers defined using the DSL have this included automatically).
  # Within your matcher's `matches?` method (or the `match` block, if using the DSL),
  # use `values_match?(expected, actual)` rather than `expected == actual`.
  # Under the covers, `values_match?` is able to match arbitrary
  # nested data structures containing a mix of both matchers and non-matcher objects.
  # It uses `===` and `==` to perform the matching, considering the values to
  # match if either returns `true`. The `Composable` mixin also provides some helper
  # methods for surfacing the matcher descriptions within your matcher's description
  # or failure messages.
  #
  # RSpec's built-in matchers each have a number of aliases that rephrase the matcher
  # from a verb phrase (such as `be_within`) to a noun phrase (such as `a_value_within`),
  # which reads better when the matcher is passed as an argument in a composed matcher
  # expressions, and also uses the noun-phrase wording in the matcher's `description`,
  # for readable failure messages. You can alias your custom matchers in similar fashion
  # using {RSpec::Matchers.alias_matcher}.
  #
  # ## Negated Matchers
  #
  # Sometimes if you want to test for the opposite using a more descriptive name
  # instead of using `not_to`, you can use {RSpec::Matchers.define_negated_matcher}:
  #
  #     RSpec::Matchers.define_negated_matcher :exclude, :include
  #     include(1, 2).description # => "include 1 and 2"
  #     exclude(1, 2).description # => "exclude 1 and 2"
  #
  # While the most obvious negated form may be to add a `not_` prefix,
  # the failure messages you get with that form can be confusing (e.g.
  # "expected [actual] to not [verb], but did not"). We've found it works
  # best to find a more positive name for the negated form, such as
  # `avoid_changing` rather than `not_change`.

    #   {Expectations::MultipleExpectationsNotMetError} exception. Mostly
    #   intended for internal RSpec use but you can use it as well.
    # @yield Block containing as many expectation as you want. The block is
    #   simply yielded to, so you can trust that anything that works outside
    #   the block should work within it.
    # @raise [Expectations::MultipleExpectationsNotMetError] raised when
    #   multiple expectations fail.
    # @raise [Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError] raised when a single
    #   expectation fails.
    # @raise [Exception] other sorts of exceptions will be raised as normal.
