ruby - RSPEC delivers a Name error on my vote spec -

i'm getting name error votes don't quite understand. it's supposed make sure votes values of 1 , -1. i've been receiving lot of nonameerrors in code pretty recently, i'm wondering how should go fixing problems these.

    require 'rails_helper'      describe vote         def valid?             (@vote == 1) || (@vote == -1)         end      describe "validations"          before             good_v = votes.new(value: 1)             bad_v = votes.new(value: -1)             no_v = votes.new(value:  2)         end          describe "value validation"             "only allows -1 or 1 values"                 expect(good_v.valid?).to eq(true)                  expext(bad_v.valid?).to eq(true)                 expect(no_v.valid?).to eq(false)             end         end     end  end 

it doesn't seem votes method i'm using create vote. wanted use good_v = @post.votes.create(value: 1), don't think that's working either.

clyde-browns-computer-2:bloccit clydiscope$ rspec spec/models/vote_spec.rb f  failures:    1) vote validations value validation allows -1 or 1 values      failure/error: expect(good_v.valid?).to eq(true)      nameerror:        undefined local variable or method `good_v' #    <rspec::examplegroups::vote::validations::valuevalidation:0x007fdd4ad44700> # ./spec/models/vote_spec.rb:19:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'  finished in 0.00397 seconds (files took 1.68 seconds load) 1 example, 1 failure  failed examples:  rspec ./spec/models/vote_spec.rb:18 # vote validations value validation allows -1 or 1 values 

there should place should defining something, not sure what's missing.

the errors codes make wrong.

before do block set local variable in describe block can not use it.

change code to:

before   @good_v = votes.new(value: 1)   @bad_v = votes.new(value: -1)   @no_v = votes.new(value:  2) end 

then use these instance variable in test case.
