Would it be possible for us to include something like this gem?

It would be fantastic if pundit came with test assertions out of the box.

:wave: user for a while of pundit. i can see how some would prefer that approach, to me though policies are pretty straight up ruby objects and adding a DSL on top of rspec/minitest would add more maintenance than benefit to the entire community. I like that there is a side gem that can do what is needed though, maybe mentioning that those exist in the readme would be enough.

@Austio I agree. The gem is quite small, so I don't think maintenance would ever be an issue since as you said, policies are POROs.
I would definitely be for adding it to the readme at least!

I wrote an article about this and in there is a custom matcher for Pundit, maybe its helpful for you.

I don't think we will add anything for this at the moment. Perhaps we can revisit this in the future.
