Hi everybody: I''m writing tests for a future application with Cucumber and Capybara and I just want to know if there is anyway to check if the download links and/or the files are OK. An example scenario would be the following one: Scenario: Checking links Given I am logged in as ... When I follow ... And I click on "Download" Then I should download "File1.zip" Is it possible to do? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It seems to me that this is properly done in your model specs, by testing the methods that generate the files. An example scenario would be the following one:> > Scenario: Checking links > Given I am logged in as ... > When I follow ... > And I click on "Download" > Then I should download "File1.zip" > > > Is it possible to do or is there any other way to do something similar? > Thanks.This should be possible, perhaps by parsing response_body as suggested at http://nhw.pl/wp/2009/09/09/testing-binary-downloads-with-webrat .

Sorry for the explanation, by OK I mean the correct file (not other), I´m not talking about correct size or whatever. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

At the moment, using the name to check the file is enough. By the way, do you know anyway to check if a sent mail have an attachment using Cucumber? Thanks again -- 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 againYou''re asking the wrong questions, I think. The question is not "how to test for ... using Cucumber?"; the question is "how to test for ...?". Remember, there''s nothing magical about Cucumber steps; they can call any Ruby code you like.

There may be other approaches. Capybara may have a canned way of doing this. Check the docs.> >>> By the way, >>> do you know anyway to check if a sent mail have an attachment using >>> Cucumber?
