Is it possible to extract data in Expect matcher?

[jeane]

Greetings,

Im in a project and my task is to extract what is being evaluated in Rspec Expect matcher. 

I was able to extract data from Factorygirl by using a callback and output data to an Excel File.

But now, they wanted me to extract Expect. I know there are lots of things going on to expect. 

is it possible to attach a callback or extend the Expect matcher in Rspec?

Thank you in advance!

module ExpectHook

  def expect(*args, &block)

    puts "your logic here"

    super

  end

end

RSpec.configure do |config|

  config.include ExpectHook

end

Greetings,

I have accomplished extracting some data from expect. thanks for the help.. but now, I need to get the expect string.. I mean the whole line of expect statement.. and place it together with the extracted data..

I know I am asking too much, but I have tried some ways I can come up, like reading and matching the whole spec file, for expect string and put them on a list. but where to place it and when to place it, Is my problem.

it would be nice if

module ExpectHook

  def expect(*args, &block)

    puts "your logic here"

    puts expect.name #or something like this?

    my_method(args, expect.name) #extraction method to output in excel file

    super

  end

end

thank you once again..

What do you mean by the "expect string"?  Can you post an example spec and what you want to extract from it?
