hello all, I have a requirement to trim a string to fit a specific width. This data is displayed under some table column, and need to fit the column width. Since I can''t tell the exact pixel in html. so we needn''t be too exact about the trimLength. I want to do something like trimString(String source, int hintColumnWidth), but can I Unit Test it?( since the requirement is vague here.) Also the requirement says that , when it trims, it should display full string as tooltip , and that becomes <span title=...> etc, and then can I UT it? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Something like def my_cell_value( a_string ) "<span title=''#{a_string}>#{truncate( a_string, 23 )}</span>" end in your helper file should do the job.

Thanks Daniel ,
I know the general code.
What I want to know is about testing.
Since the requirement isn''t very exact,
so say, 3 columnWidthUnit = 1 strLengthUnit,
so I write trim(str,columnWidthUnit/3) for that.
so if the method is trimString(source, hintColumnWidth),
Then in test, I just test trimString("helloworld", 3) produces
"h...",
Am I correct?
And about tooltip, I test result str equals to "<span
title=''helloworld''>h...</span>",
right? So If I will put in html other attributes, like <span id=...
title=...>,
then I use regex to test it? Right?

You can use something like assert_tag or even better HPricott http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Test/Unit/Assertions.html#M000970 Luck Redpath has a small writeup on using HPricott to test views. It''s here http://www.lukeredpath.co.uk/2006/7/7/testing-your-rails-views-with-hpricot I hope that''s more along the lines of what your after. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Daniel, that looks interesting.I''ll check it up. I''d thought about selenium, but I feel in this small requirement using selenium to test that would be an overkill and too much effort to set up. Thanks for the hint.
