[RAILS3.1] Capybara does not find the text that is actually there!
This was originaly posted on stackoverflow
(<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6848011/capybara-does-not-find-the-text-that-is-actually-there>)
It would be nice if answers could be there to, if not I will summarize
the helping answers and post them there.
---8<--- SO Post beginns here:
In my actual project I use the following gems for testing:
* capybara from git://github.com/jnicklas/capybara.git in revision
6641fddcfc337a3ddaa84ac59272e884090332c3
* rails (3.1.0.rc5) (and its requirements)
* factory_girl (2.0.1)
* factory_girl_rails (1.1.0)
* rspec (2.6.0)
* rspec-core (2.6.4)
* rspec-rails (2.6.1)
When doing `rake spec` I get the following error:
...F.....*................*....*.*.*.
Pending:
<pending snipped out>
Failures:
1) Articles GET /articles/:id should show the article when clicking it
Failure/Error: page.should have_content a.body
expected there to be content "Dieser Artikel ist nur zum
testen, erfüllt keinen Sinn und langweilig ist mir ohnehin. Das sollte
nur mal so gesagt werden... MfG Euer Admin!\n" in "Stars3\n \n

purpose\n \n \n Artikel\n\n \nDieser Artikel ist nur zum

# ./spec/requests/articles_spec.rb:46
Finished in 1.96 seconds
37 examples, 1 failure, 5 pending
Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/requests/articles_spec.rb:40 # Articles GET
/articles/:id should show the article when clicking it
I cant see any differences between the expectation and the result...
Can you point me in the right direction to make this one work?
The spec:
<!-- language: ruby -->
describe "GET /articles/:id" do
it "should show the article when clicking it", :type =>
:request do
a = Factory.create(:article)#, :user => u)
a.save
visit articles_path
click_link a.title
page.should have_content a.title
page.should have_content a.body
end
end
The factory:
<!-- language: ruby -->
Factory.define :article do |a|
Factory.sequence :title do |i|
"#{1} - This is an article created just for testing purpose"
end
a.title { Factory.next(:title) }
a.association :user, :factory => :user #user { User.first }
a.body <<eot
Dieser Artikel ist nur zum testen, erfüllt keinen Sinn und
langweilig ist mir ohnehin. Das sollte nur mal so gesagt werden... MfG
Euer Admin!
eot
end
The view:
<!-- language: ruby -->
<% title "Artikel - #{@article.title}" -%>
<%= @article.compiled -%>
The controller:
<!-- language: ruby -->
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
before_filter :login_required, :except => [:index, :show]
def show
@article = Article.find_by_title(params[:id])
end
end
And the model:
<!-- language: ruby -->
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :body, :message => "Es muss schon Text drin
stehen"
validates_presence_of :title, :message => "Du brauchst nen Titel
für den Artikel"
validates_presence_of :user, :message => "Das hätte nicht
passieren dürfen... Es wurde kein Nutzer angegeben"
belongs_to :user
# before_save :compile_body
def compiled
body
end
def to_param
"#{title}"
end
end
If something is missing, please feel free to ask, I will put it here.

Are you sure they match exactly? Try first changing the test and factory to provide a simple string and work up from there. Do you really need such a complex example text anyway? If yes then use a regular expression and ignore the whitespace details. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

OK, setting the body a oneliner does the test pass... Thank you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
