When I run the test "rspec spec "In the console, I'll get a deprecation warning

Question

describe Item do

  it 'calculates price according to a special formula' do
    item = Item.new('kettle', price: 200)
    item.price.should == 212
  end

end

Deprecation Warnings:

Using should from rspec-expectations' old :should syntax without explicitly enabling the syntax is deprecated. Use the new :expect syntax or explicitly enable :should with config.expect_with(:rspec) { |c| c.syntax = :should } instead. Called from E:/work/storeapp/spec/item_spec.rb:9:in `block (2 levels) in '.

If you need more of the backtrace for any of these deprecations to identify where to make the necessary changes, you can configure config.raise_errors_for_deprecations!, and it will turn the deprecation warnings into errors, giving you the full backtrace.

How this warning can be avoided?

Write the test in a new style:

expect(item.price).to eq 212

BTW. it seems you might doing sth quite risk/confusing. Once you assign 200 to the attribute, it will be more than confusing to see another value returned by a getter with a same name. Have you considered leaving the original method alone and defining a new one instead (like price_with_vat)?
