Using implicit `subject` with `expect` in RSpec-2.11

Question

With the new expect syntax in rspec-2.11, how is it possible to use the implicit subject? Is there a better way than explicitly referencing s

Answer 1

One could use the new named subject syntax, although it's not implicit.

describe User do
  subject(:author) { User.new }

  it 'is valid' do
    expect(author).to be_valid
  end
end
