rspec users - Nov 2010 - Testing html email content with have_selector rspec2 rails3 fails

Previously on rails 2.x
I have been able to test the content of my html actionmailer emails.

In rspec 1.x:

@mailer = OrderMailer.create_receipt(@order)
@mailer.body.should have_tag(''.order_number'')
@mailer.body.should have_tag(''.billing_address'')
@mailer.body.should have_tag(''.delivery_address'')

I have changed to rspec 2.x style

@mailer = OrderMailer.receipt(@order)
@body = @mailer.encoded
@body.should have_tag(''.order_number'')
@body.should have_tag(''.billing_address'')
@body.should have_tag(''.delivery_address'')

It fails.
I suspect theres something else that have_tag was doing that
have_selector is not?
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to tests the content
of my emails?

Maybe I should never have tested email content this way, is it more a
job for cucumber?
Look forward to your responses.

Thanks
Rob

Rob,

This doesn''t make sense

1. None of your examples here are using have_selector !
2. Why is OrderMailer no longer creating a receipt
3. Why is @mailer being encoded

Is mailer.body the same in both versions, can you show this.

Have you tried using a debugger before the first have_tag line.

All best

Andrew :)
