How to update rails rspec nasted let attribute - ruby-on-rails

Question

I want to change attribute inside previously defined let to make my test works. I know it is hash in hash but none of my solutions works.
I've got several similar let but which looked like this
let(:second_data) do
{
'id' => second.id.to_s,
'type' => 'account',
'attributes' =>
{
'status' => 'new',
'created_at' => second.created_at.as_json,
'time_information' => second.credit.process.date_of_interest.as_json
}
}
end
At the end these lets are merged to one
let(:json_serialized_offers) do
{
'data' => [first_data, second_data, third_data],
'included' => first_included + second_included + third_included
}
end
Now I want to change status to expired in second_data which is nested in section data in :json_serialized_offers (as you see above).
I was trying to declere it once again, in right context, by
context "when status 'closed' passed " do
let(:json_serialized_offers) do
{
'data' => second_data { status: 'expire' }
}
end
# some logic
end
But nothing changed, is it possible to do so?

Just use a another "let" to set the status attribute.
Create a :status variable with a new let and change your first let like so:
let(:status) { 'new' } # <==== new let
let(:second_data) do
{
'id' => second.id.to_s,
'type' => 'account',
'attributes' =>
{
'status' => status # <==== set status using new variable
'created_at' => second.created_at.as_json,
'time_information' => second.credit.process.date_of_interest.as_json
}
}
end
Then, in the context where you need to change it, just redefine :status.
context "when status 'closed' passed " do
let(:status) { 'expired' }
it ...
end
This will redefine :status within this context, and will also change the status attribute in :second_data.
This strategy is great for setting deeply nested attributes, and it also makes it so that you only have to redefine the things that changed.
