| # There's a known caveat with rspec-rails's `controller` helper that | ||
| # runs its block in a different context, and `described_class` is not | ||
| # available to it. `SkipBlocks` option excludes detection in all | ||
| # non-RSpec related blocks. | ||

| # To narrow down this setting to only a specific directory, it is | ||
| # possible to use an overriding configuration file local to that | ||
| # directory. |
