Is there a way to get the current volume level in RSpec?

This is absolutely stupid and unimportant, but I'm just curious: using RSpec , can I somehow get access to what is “depth” What am I in now? It...

describe SomeClass do
  describe "#some_method" do
    context "within some context" do
      it "is possible, what I'm asking" do
        # Actually, I'm not entirely sure what I'd expect this
        # value to be... basically, whatever the RSpec designers
        # felt made sense.
        mysterious_method_to_get_depth.should == 3
      end
    end
  end
end

I really ask because I want to print some useful information, but so that the test output is still as readable as possible (i.e. with the right indent).

In your examples, you can use example.metadatawhich is a hash that provides a ton of information.

Following @Myron Marston's suggestion, I implemented something like this:

def mysterious_method_to_get_depth(meta)
    if !meta.has_key?(:example_group)
        0
    else
        1 + mysterious_method_to_get_depth(meta[:example_group])
    end
end

You should call it like this: mysterious_method_to_get_depth(example.metadata)
