rspec users - Jan 2009 - Adding a custom matcher to a controller

Hey list,

I''ve written a custom matcher (http://gist.github.com/46858) which  
I''d like to use in Cucumber specifically.
In my spec_helper, I have required the file where the matcher lives  
in, and added it to Spec::Runner.configure.
In one of my cucumber steps, I have:  response.should have_notice 
("foo").
However, when I run the feature, I get the following error:
undefined method `has_notice?'' for #<ActionController::CgiResponse: 
0x308fc84> (NoMethodError)
Note the has_notice?...

Any ideas on how to add this matcher to the response?

cheers,
bartz

Thanks, now my matcher did get included. However, I''m trying to use  
have_tag (as in http://gist.github.com/46868), and I get this error:
undefined method `have_tag'' for #<Matchers::HaveNotice:0x2e4a5c8>
(NoMethodError)
Any ideas on how to make have_tag available in my custom matcher?

thanks,
bartz

Not particularly useful in this case, but if I have some spare time  
today, I''ll try to update the docs.

Gotta include the rspec-rails matchers as well (or webrat if you''re
using those).

Uhm, yeah, but how? :)
I''ve included this in spec_helper, so I thought the webrat/rspec-rails
matchers were included automatically...

thanks,

Ah - I see the problem. They are, but outside the scope of the custom matcher.

Here''s how I''ve gotten around this:
http://gist.github.com/47126 -
don''t know if that''ll work as/is, but it should give you the
idea,
which is to provide access to the scope in which have_tag is defined
and call it on that scope.

HTH,
David
