Matchers
For a full list of available matchers, please visit our matchers page.
be_installed
The be_installed
matcher tests if the named package is installed at all.
it { should be_installed }
version
The version
matcher tests if the named package version is on the system:
its('version') { should eq '2.1.0' }
You can also use the cmp OPERATOR
matcher to perform comparisons using the version attribute:
its('version') { should cmp >= '1.93.4-13debug84' }
cmp
understands version numbers using Gem::Version, and can use the operators ==, <, <=, >=, and >
. It will compare versions by each segment, not as a string - so ‘7.4’ is smaller than ‘7.30’, for example.
