similar to: Rails 3.2.10 and Rspec Tests that Fail?

>From looking at the RSpec Rails documentation (https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/view-specs/view-spec) it seems like rendered is just a string and you can''t really do any assert_select type stuff out of the box. After Googling around, it seems that the RSpec authors decided that if you want that functionality, you should just use Capybara or some such... is that

I''m new with Capybara and after a good amount of google, I still can''t figure out how the #within methods works! I can use it only if I call visit before? There''s no way to use it on a string, like the `page = Capybara.string(html_string)` trick? When describe a view, I want something like that: describe "path/to/view.html.erb" do it "should pass"

With jruby and rspec requests, do you have to use selenium webdriver? I''m confused, with ruby and rubyonrails using cucumber with capybara, I didn''t have to set the default driver, what was it using and can i use that with jruby? Things just worked w/o me even having to know about it :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I am having an issue where a feature works fine but the corresponding test fails, and I can''t understand why. I created a mock application to demonstrate the problem. https://github.com/assafshomer/clear_button All it does is show an input form with a clear button. The clearing happens by redirecting back to the same form. It does clear it when you run the app, but the test for it

This https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/commit/59793dcc349b64f4ebcf742606371001256c774d is exciting news!! ("this adds capybara matchers to view and helper specs") Now, if I just knew how to take advantage of it? Do I have to require something else in spec_helper? I have already added included gem ''rspec-rails'', ''~> 2.6.0.rc2'' gem

Hi, I''m trying to write my first custom matcher. Here''s a bit of my example group. describe "/contact/index" do include FormMatchers before(:each) do render ''contact/index'' end it "should show the contact form" do response.should have_a_contact_form end describe "the contact form" do context

I''m in the process of updating an app for Rails 3.0 and rspec-rails 2.0.0.beta20. When I''m running my specs (rake spec) I get a large number of errors caused by two undefined methods undefined method `has_selector?'' for #<String:0x7fdbd0b5b270> undefined method `flunk'' for

Hi, I was writing an integration test for my user signup form (with capybara), and found that my test was failing due to a validation error: "email is already taken". I''m a bit confused because I thought when I run "rspec spec/some_spec.rb", the test database would be wiped clear? Is that not the case? Patrick J. Collins http://collinatorstudios.com

Hi there I have a weird situation. I have inherited a project in Rails 1.2.3 that has been upgraded to Rails 2.3.14 (and is running). I have installed Cucumber and Rspec to start to write features/tests for the new code that needs to be written. In my Gemfile, these Gems are loaded: group :test do gem ''rspec-rails'', ''~> 1.3.4'', :require =>

Hey guys After hours of hard work I finally managed to set up my development environment to run cucumber scenarios using autotest and selenium. What''s a bit bugging is the fact that Firefox always jumps to the foreground when Autotest does its job. How can I keep Firefox in the background so that I can continue with my work without being interrupted? Thanks! -- Posted via

I am following the rails tutorial: http://railstutorial.org/chapters/filling-in-the-layout#top Basically the test is something like: spec/requests/layout_links_spec.rb require ''spec_helper'' describe "LayoutLinks" do it "should have a Home page at ''/''" do get ''/'' response.should

Even with Spork, my requests specs are very slow to start running (about 7 seconds). I suspect Rails is booting each time I run "rspec -X spec/requests". Is that true? If so, is there any way I could instruct the web server to keep alive after the specs run so that it would be faster on next run? Are there any resources on how to have better performance on running requests specs

Railers, I am running an application on Rails 2.3.2. For some reason within our organization, we wish to remain on this version of Rails. For BDD/Testing, we use Cucumber. So I installed Cucumber (0.8.5), Capybara (0.3.9) and Selenium-webdriver (0.0.17). But when I run Cucumber on any feature, I get an error saying *" wrong number of arguments (2 for 1) (ArgumentError)"*, (Check here
