Hi,
I''ve just started using prawn but am at a bit of a loss how to create
my
view specs for it.
For example, my normal view spec has things like
response.should have_tag("blah")
or
response.body.should =~ /something/
How do I do this with prawn output?

Generally speaking, a View is 2D or 3D, yet our tests must run in 1 dimension. In HTML, we do that by parsing the elements back into a DOM, and inspecting this. We don''t necessarily do it by rendering a page and looking at it! So if prawn were PS, can you get a post script parser, parse it, and look for your details? (Note, too, that .should =~ is only a cheap approximation of parsing...) -- Phlip

PDF is not a plain text markup language like HTML so its not a problem so easily solved. I haven''t spec''d a PDF, but when looking into it at one point I came across PDF Reader. http://github.com/yob/pdf-wrapper/tree Perhaps that will help you find a starting place.> -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-users at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users >-- Zach Dennis http://www.continuousthinking.com http://www.mutuallyhuman.com
