Should not include

Question

How can I describe an RSpec test to check if an array contains some value? Something like that:

tags.should include("one")
tags.should not include("two")

I can rewrite my condition:

tags.include?("two").should be_false

but I am looking for a nicer solution.

RSpec has should_not

as well should

.

tags.should include("one")
tags.should_not include("two")

Here are some more examples from the corresponding match.
