[Rspec-users] String.should_hav_tag

I''ve just upgraded to rspec 0.6.4 and several specs were broken.  All  
for the same reason.  String.should_have_tag doesn''t seem to be  
supported any longer.

It used to be possible to write assertions like:

response.body.should_have_tag :tag => "form"
or
"<html><body/></html>".should_have_tag :tag =>
"body"

But these fail with 0.6.4.  The documentation still suggests this  
should work.

I was able to solve the problem by adding the following to my spec  
files:

class String
   include Spec::Expectations::TagExpectations
end

Doh! Thanks for pointing this out Micah. This changed in this release
and I neglected to point it out in the release notes.

As of 0.6.4, instead of using this:

   response.body.should_have_tag

you should use this:

   response.should_have_tag

(see http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/rails.html)

Micah''s suggestion above will work in the short run, but I would
recommend that you change the specs. In the next release (0.6.5) there
will no longer be a module named Spec::Expectations::TagExpectations.

Thanks,
David

ps - sorry for the inconvenience. It is our intent to NOT break
backwards compatibility on any minor (0.6.x) releases or without any
warning.
