Is it possible for RSpec to expect change in two tables?

Question

RSpec expect change:

it "should increment the count" do   expect{Foo.bar}.to change{Counter.count}.by 1 end 

Is there a way to expect change in two tables?

expect{Foo.bar}.to change{Counter.count}.by 1  and change{AnotherCounter.count}.by 1  

Answer 1

I prefer this syntax (rspec 3 or later):

it "should increment the counters" do   expect { Foo.bar }.to change { Counter,        :count }.by(1).and \                         change { AnotherCounter, :count }.by(1) end 

Yes, this are two assertions in one place, but because the block is executed just one time, it can speedup the tests.

EDIT: Added Backslash after the .and to avoid syntax error

Answer 2

I got syntax errors trying to use @MichaelJohnston's solution; this is the form that finally worked for me:

it "should increment the counters" do   expect { Foo.bar }.to change { Counter.count }.by(1)     .and change { AnotherCounter.count }.by(1) end 

I should mention I'm using ruby 2.2.2p95 - I don't know if this version has some subtle change in parsing that causes me to get errors, it doesn't appear that anyone else in this thread has had that problem.
