[rspec-users] Controller/View User Agent Strings

Given this in views/layouts/person.rhtml:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag(''ie'', :media =>
''screen'') if
request.user_agent && request.user_agent =~ /msie/i %>

The following passes for me:

===================================context "layout for person w/ user_agent
= msie" do
  setup do
    request.stub!(:user_agent).and_return(''msie'')
    render ''layouts/person''
  end

  specify "should have msie stylesheet" do
    response.should have_tag("link[href*=ie.css]")
  end

  specify "should not have firefox stylesheet" do
    response.should_not have_tag("link[href*=firefox.css]")
  end

end

context "layout for person w/ user_agent = firefox" do
  setup do
    request.stub!(:user_agent).and_return(''mozilla'')
    render ''layouts/person''
  end

  specify "should have no link tag" do
    response.should_not have_tag("link")
  end

end
===================================
Take a look at the assert_select cheat sheet for more info:

http://labnotes.org/svn/public/ruby/rails_plugins/assert_select/cheat/assert_select.html

have_tag just wraps that w/ rspec syntax.

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
David
