Rails - Nov 2011 - Rspec response.should have_selector not matching

Hi all,
I got some problems with my integration test. I have a form were a new 
user can sign up. If the form is blank and submitted the normal error 
occur. The error div has an id "error_explanation". In my integration 
test i try to match it but the test is always red. Here some Code:

# encoding : utf-8
require ''spec_helper''

describe "Users" do

   describe "signup" do
     describe "failure" do

       it "should not make a new user" do
         lambda do
           visit registrieren_path
           fill_in "Benutzername", :with => ""
           fill_in "Email", :with => ""
           fill_in "Passwort", :with => ""
           fill_in "Passwort bestätigen", :with => ""
           click_button
           response.should render_template(''users/new'')
           response.should have_selector("div", :id =>
"error_explanation")
         end.should_not change(User, :count)
       end
     end
   end
end


Here is the error:

expected following output to contain a <div
id=''error_explanation''/> tag
...
and the whole html output.


I checked my output and the strange thing is that i even can''t find the
form in the output. It looks like the test is checking the index page 
instead of the one tried to reach with the visit registrieren_path.

I''m using Rspec Rails v.2.7.0 with Webrat 0.7.3

Hope someone got a hint for me :)

Best regards

Greg

Ok I found the error. I should have pass the submit buttons value to the 
click_button function. Now the test is green :)

Thanks anyway.
