The :example_group key... deprecation in every describe and context block

[Dkendal]

The `:example_group` key in an example group's metadata hash is deprecated. Use the example group's hash directly for the computed keys and `:parent_example_group` to access the parent example group metadata instead. 

I'm getting this error from every single describe and context block in my project, but I have no idea what it means. None of my describe blocks make any use of meta data.

rspec-rails 3.0.0.rc1 post 2.99 upgrade, on Rails 4.0.5.

Something is accessing your example group's metadata, and that behaviour is deprecated. Can you gist your Gemfile, are you using any plugins?

Can you set config.raise_errors_for_deprecations! and paste the backtrace? You probably have a gem that is accessing the deprecated metadata key, and that'll tell us what is causing it.

It would appear that Draper::DecoratorExampleGroup is the cause:

From: .../vendor/bundle/gems/rspec-core-3.0.0.rc1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb @ line 1004 RSpec::Core::Configuration#configure_group:

    1002: def configure_group(group)
    1003:   include_or_extend_modules.each do |include_or_extend, mod, filters|
 => 1004:     next unless filters.empty? || group.any_apply?(filters)
    1005:     __send__("safe_#{include_or_extend}", mod, group)
    1006:   end
    1007: end

[19] pry(#<RSpec::Core::Configuration>)> mod
Draper::DecoratorExampleGroup
[20] pry(#<RSpec::Core::Configuration>)> filters
{
    :example_group => {
        :file_path => /spec\/decorators/
    },
             :type => :decorator
}

I'm going to submit a fix for draper for this - thanks for the quick responses though!

👍

Yep. It should use :file_path => /spec\/decorators/, :type => :decorator rather than :example_group => { :file_path => /spec\/decorators/ }, :type => :decorator.
