similar to: Need help in View Spec

When writing view specs is there any way to test not only for the presence of tags (have_tag) and nested tags (with_tag), but also test that they appear in a given order? For example, consider the following: it ''should display the login names, display names and email address in alternating rows'' do response.should have_tag(''div.odd>div'') do

Hi I just did an update to lates trunk ================= context "Given a generated venue_spec.rb with fixtures loaded" do fixtures :venues specify "fixtures should load two Venues" do Venue.should have(2).records end end ================== gives me ========== 1) TypeError in ''Given a generated venue_spec.rb with fixtures loaded fixtures should load two

Hello everyone: I am quit new to View test using rspec. I want to write spec for a partial, which is rendered by a controller. However, the controller does not pass data to the partial using instance variables, it uses symbol variable instead. I read the example of view spec provided in the website. But the example is using instance variable. So I am looking for a way of assigning my test data

Hi, Is there a way to use the have_tag matcher on a string instead of the response body from a view? I have a helper in a method rails project that returns an html fragment which I would like to test. Like this: module SomeHelper def some_helper_method "<p>foo</p>" end end context "The SomeHelper" helper_name :some specify do

Hi: I am a rspec beginner. I have scratched my head for the whole afternoon, trying to figure out a way of writing render expectation in controller spec. However, I failed. It kept telling me that the ''expect_render'' was an undefined method. I have installed rspec 1.0.8 and rspec_on_rails as well. Below is the controller to be tested. Controller def index pre

I''m having trouble getting the specs to run for a plugin where I want to fix a bug. (I''ve actually already found and fixed the bug, but I don''t want to submit a fix without a test!) When I started the specs weren''t running, but it may be that I''m using Rails 2.3.3 and the plugin has been tested on 2.1 and earlier. I went through writing a spec for a

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

Hi Was just using have_tag on an xml response and found the problem outlined and resolved here http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2007/1/4/assert_xml_select Just wondered if there is any support in rspec?

Hi Google has not helped me here. I''m looking for a way to use the have_tag assert_select wrapper outside RSpec on Rails (but in a Rails project) so I can use it to check text strings. Has anyone managed this? Thanks Ashley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi all, I can't seem to make assert_select work for the more complex cases for me. Here's a sample: # View <%= link_to_remote 'Add new', :url => new_phone_url, :submit => 'phones_head' %> # Generated code: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('http://test.host/admin/parties/phone/new', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true,

I have a page that hides elements using CSS display: none. I don''t expect RSpec to test any changes made by Javascript; I just want to test how the page loads initially: what is visible and what is not. Can I test this in RSpec? Or do I need to use something like Selenium? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello everyone: Right now I am writing spec on modules, which are provided by my colleagues. Some of the modules actually contain action methods. I tried very hard to spec those action methods in modules. But it seems that the rspec does not allow module spec to ''get'' action like controller does. After I saw the documentation, I then used :behaviour_type=>:controller.

[Rails plugin 1.0.5] Hi, I am looking for some guidance. When working on a partial which looks like this <div class="bug" style="width: 100%;" /> I have some examples which should fail - I think - but do not: it '' should fail'' do response.should have_tag( ''div.bug'', :content => ''There is no

Hi All, Hope all is going well. I''ve got a few views that create some content using ''content_for'' blocks <% content_for :blah do %> ..... <% end %> Has anyone worked out a way to be able to access the html that''s generated inside those blocks? Since they''re not part of the view, have_tag('''') seems to miss them,

Great Hi to everybody! I am currently working on a project which tests the controllers using rspec. I came across some methods in the controller which do not generate any actions at all. However, they still need testing! Some of these methods do require parameters. I am wondering how I can pass the test cases as the parameters to these targeted methods in the controller spec?? Below is a simple

Good morning to everyone: So weird!! I got a method called apply_settings(arg1, arg2) in the controller to be tested. In the controller spec, I of course called the method. In the controller: def apply_settings(arg1, arg2) #where arg1 is a hash, and arg2 is an array of object #do some coding end In the controller spec: before(:each) do @controller = Controller.new

Good morning, dear fellows: I''d like to recall one question I posted yesterday. I am writing specs for ruby modules. Some of the modules do some data process in the test database. Because ''fixtures'' is undefined (Am I correct?) in module specs, spec of certain module (e.g. delete data form database) will affect other specs of other modules (e.g. try to access the

Hello everyone: I am currently assigned to test a big project which uses JRuby to build a web application. The reason of using JRuby is the web application is communicating with Java Service. I am writing test cases using Rspec and looking for a code coverage tool. Rcov is no doubt a nice code coverage tool. However, it is said that Rcov is not compatible with JRuby so far. Sigh....I can not

Dear Fellows: I was using fixtures in the model tests using Rspec. I found that the test data specified in the fixtures was stored in the test database once I ran the spec and won''t be removed anyway. Is my observation correct? There might be another problem regarding the fixtures. When I ran the specs one by one, it was working. However, it failed when I tried to run all the

Dear fellows: I am currently working on writing specs on some ruby modules(e.g. myModule). At first I try to use script/generate to generate rspec_module, but it failed. :-( Later I manually created a file (e.g. named myModule_spec.rb) and put the ''require ....spec_helper.rb'' as the first line of code followed by ''describe'' block. Luckily, it seemed to
