RSpec matcher for validates_with

validate_with_matcher.rb

# RSpec matcher for validates_with.
# https://gist.github.com/2032846
# Usage:
#
#     describe User do
#       it { should validate_with CustomValidator }
#     end
RSpec::Matchers.define :validate_with do |expected_validator, options|
  match do |subject|
    @validator = subject.class.validators.find do |validator|
      validator.class == expected_validator
    end
    @validator.present? && options_matching?
  end

  def options_matching?
    if @options.present?
      @options.all? { |option| @validator.options[option] == @options[option] }
    else
      true
    end
  end

  chain :with_options do |options|
    @options = options
  end

  description do
    "RSpec matcher for validates_with"
  end

  failure_message do |text|
    "expected to validate with #{validator}#{@options.present? ? (' with options ' + @options) : ''}"
  end

  failure_message_when_negated do |text|
    "do not expected to validate with #{validator}#{@options.present? ? (' with options ' + @options) : ''}"
  end
end

Just FYI, I've included this in my personal gem of spec helpers ... https://github.com/schrodingersbox/spec_cat#credits ... please open an issue if you object or would like any changes to the attribution.

And thanks!

Thanks for writing this up!

I just used this and noticed that it wasn't actually checking the values of options against the options passed to the Validator. So I forked it to fix that, and expand upon it a bit more.
