Code Can Be Poetic

While learning RSpec (a testing framework for Ruby), my girlfriend was sitting next to me on our couch asking me what color of yarn she should knit some socks in. While she asked me questions, I came up with these to snippits of code that "tested" if a particular yarn type was correct. Not very useful, but fun!

sock.rb:

class Sock
 attr_accessor :colors

 def initialize
    @colors = [:teal, :olive, :green, :blue, :purple]
 end 

 def machine_washable?
   true
 end
end

sock_spec.rb:

require "sock"

describe "Socks that Kevin would like" do

 before :each do
   @sock = Sock.new
 end

 it "should not have pink in it" do
   @sock.colors.include?(:pink).should_not == true
 end

 it "should not have purple in it" do
   @sock.colors.include?(:purple).should_not == true
 end

 it "should be machine washable" do
   @sock.should be_machine_washable
 end

 it "should not have grey in it" do
   @sock.colors.include?(:grey).should_not == true
 end

 it "should have multiple colors" do
   @sock.colors.length.should > 1
 end

end
