rspec users - Jul 2007 - have_tag for href with specific link?

Hi folks,

I''m trying out this idea of "outside-in" and writing specs
for my views
first. Being a person who generally starts with some scribbles of a user 
interface and moves right to models, this has yet to be fun, but I''m 
giving it a shot.

My question: I''m trying to specify that an index page should show a
list
of things, each with a link to a delete action. How would my have_tag 
(or whatever I should be using) look like?

Thanks,
Edward

have_tag just wraps assert_select from Rails, so you can use all its
goodness to select specific DOM elements. In your case something like
this should work:

  response.should have_tag(''a[href^=/stuff/delete]'')

The ^= matches the beginning of the argument. Check the assert_select
docs for all the possible ways to match DOM elements.

Kind regards,

Hans

Right on. Thanks Hans.
