I''m attempting to write a test that verifies that the response body has
expected data within it.
The following works fine:
response.should render_template(''index'')
response.should be_success
However:
response.should have_tag("div") fails
For some reason the value of response.body is " " (A string containing
a
single space)
Does anyone have any thoughts on what the problem might be here?

Are you integrating your views? Rspec doesn''t render views by default. Instead, you can use a view spec for that.

Yeah. I just realized that myself. I''d like to be able to just make sure that the view renders successfully (No erb statements inside of the view fail). It would be nice to be able to test that inside of a controller spec if that''s possible.

Looks like using the integrate_views method was indeed what I was seeking to use. Thanks. George On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 3:48 PM, George Deglin <george at xapblog.com> wrote:> Yeah.
