I have the following html <p><b>text</b>value</p> I can use assert_select "p>b", "text" to check the text portion, and assert_select "p", "value" to check that the value appears in a <p>. I cannot work out how to check that the two are in the same <p>. I have used assert_select for much more complex tasks but my mind seems to have gone blank and google has not provided an example of this type. Any help would be much appreciated.

That''s 1990s physical styling. That''s *bad*. You should be using a semantically named <span> instead. But you probably knew that already. Now to your question...I think I''d use assert_select ''p'', :html => ''<b>text</b>value''. Does that help?> > ColinBest, -- 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.

But you probably knew that already.Yes I know, it was generated by a rails scaffold some years ago if I remember correctly. It is a rarely used admin page so I have not got round to re-factoring it yet. It is all a matter of priorities of course. Also of course this is one case where re-factoring may cause existing tests to fail.> > Now to your question...I think I''d use assert_select ''p'', :html => > ''<b>text</b>value''. Does that help?Yes of course, I don''t think I have ever had to use :html, it always seems like a bit of a cop-out but it should fix my problem.

However, having looked at the docs again it should in fact pass all p elements with that value to the block, so the inner assert should be satisfied if any p with the right value has a matching b. So I think you are right, it should work. I will give it a go. Many thanks Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
