shared_examples with js: true are wrongfully included in js: true contexts

[ojab]

In this test:

RSpec.shared_examples :shared_test, js: true do
  it { expect(true).to eq(false) }
end

RSpec.feature 'Test feature' do
  context 'Test context', js: true do
    it { expect(true).to eq(true) }
  end
end

:shared_test examples are executed in Test context, although we're not including it.

This is working by design. Shared group metadata was intended to be used for automatic inclusion in matching groups when the feature was first written. It's a problematic design, though, and we plan to change it. See rspec/rspec-core#1790.

For now, you can work around it like so:

RSpec.shared_examples :shared_test do
  context "some context", js: true do
    it { expect(true).to eq(false) }
  end
end

By putting the metadata on a nested group instead of the shared group itself, it avoids the auto-inclusion. Hopefully we'll implement the solution discussed in rspec/rspec-core#1790 soon.
