How can I test that a view does not display a particular string any where? E.g., the particular string is "I should not be here". In my controller test, I have: assert_select "div", /I should not be here/, false but this does not work. It fails although I don''t have that string in the view. Also, I am testing against "div" blocks for now but what I''d like to test is against the whole view.

Note, however, that you should probably be doing most of your view testing with Cucumber, and that RSpec is much better to work with than Test::Unit.> > Thanks, > > Vincent.Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org marnen-sbuyVjPbboAdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks Marnen, I would love to use cucumber but cucumber is not working for me. Please see my other question regarding this issue: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/90bbeee1d56da466# Thanks.
