I''m developing another view test. Relevant example:
it "should show the item''s url" do
rendered.should contain("http://www.example.com")
end
I''m calling render in a before block. I have other similar examples on
the page in which I''m simply using:
rendered.should =~ "..."
These all work fine, as does the first example I posted here. However, when
trying to express that first example with a regex (which I prefer), the example
fails:
it "should show the item''s url" do
rendered.should =~ /http:\/\/www.example.com/
end
Am I missing something?
Thanks,

On a related note, though, is there any possibility that Capybara matchers will ever be available in view/helper examples? should_contain is a little bit open-ended for my taste.

On a related note, though, is there any possibility that Capybara matchers will ever be available in view/helper examples? should_contain is a little bit open-ended for my taste.I''d like that very much, but, as things stand today, they''re bound to the Capybara session, so they won''t work in view specs (which don''t have a full request cycle). I''ve chatted w/ Jonas about this and he''s interested in decoupling the matchers so we could use them against an arbitrary string, but there''s no definite commitment to that or an ETA. Wish I had better news than that, but that''s the state of things. Cheers, David -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Capybara matchers I think will stay Capybara specific. However, you can use this gem to test any kind of string containing html: http://github.com/grimen/rspec_tag_matchers. David: Maybe you should consider adding that gem to the rspec-rails core or at least mention it in the docs. Need for it seems to be popping up everywhere. - Toni On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 5:51 PM, Brennon Bortz <brennon at brennonbortz.com> wrote:> On 6 Sep 2010, at 15:39, David Chelimsky wrote: > > On Sep 6, 2010, at 9:20 AM, Brennon Bortz wrote: > > On 6 Sep 2010, at 14:55, David Chelimsky wrote: > > On Sep 6, 2010, at 8:15 AM, Brennon Bortz wrote: > > I''m developing another view test. ?Relevant example: > it "should show the item''s url" do > ?? ? ?rendered.should contain("http://www.example.com") > end > I''m calling render in a before block. ?I have other similar examples on the > page in which I''m simply using: > rendered.should =~ "..." > These all work fine, as does the first example I posted here. ?However, when > trying to express that first example with a regex (which I prefer), the > example fails: > it "should show the item''s url" do > ?? ? ?rendered.should =~ /http:\/\/www.example.com/ > end > Am I missing something? > > Failures: > ??1) widgets/show.html.erb widget details should show the widget''s url > ?? ?
