There's a very common pattern in our test, where the setup only has two lines: variable = create(:something) unused_variable = create(:something_else, something: variable) In this case, since there's a blank line below these ones and then we'll get to the body of the test, and the second variable is going to be created based on the first variable, we can remove the useless assignment and the readability is still OK. Another option we almost unanimously discarded was: variable = create(:something) _unused_variable = create(:something_else, something: variable) We don't use it anywhere else, either. One more option we considered but found a bit too much for simple tests: variable = create(:something) do |something| create(:something_else, something: variable) end Then of course we could move the setup to `let` and `before` blocks, but the tests could get over-structured really quickly.
