When we moved away from using the RuboCop autocorrections for described_class replacements with class names everywhere, I used Copilot with Claude Opus 4.7 in Agent mode to make the changes in commit adf7123 to add let(:klass) { Foo } and replace described_class with klass in all the places.

• A follow-up from sorbet: Add RSpec shims and typecheck some tests #22205 (comment), so that Sorbet typechecking of tests can be more thorough.

Sorry to be that guy: now I'm actually looking at the diff, I kinda hate it 😭.

Could we do something like a type alias or e.g. test_alias = Homebrew::API::Cask::CaskStructGenerator to have RSpec handle this better with Sorbet while avoiding the excessive repetition?

Hah, it is quite a lot of diff.

To avoid the excessive repetition let(:klass) { Homebrew::Api::Cask::CaskStructGenerator } seems to work, so we can use klass everywhere, and if the name ever changes then there's only a few places to update?

Works for me!
