When I first learned about the View specs I was very excited. I still am. However, I haven''t found them useful yet for one reason. They throw the following exception when ever a view renders another view, which is very common. ActionView::TemplateError in ''Event View message'' No rhtml, rxml, rjs or delegate template found for spec/rails/ view_spec/_info

I always assumed have_tag was part of rspec, but it''s not in rspec 2, and looking now I don''t see it in rspec 1 either. Webrat defines it, but that seems like a coincidence (I tried requiring webrat/core/matchers to no avail). Is it depricated, not yet implemented, or does it work for everyone else? My project is from scratch, rspec-rails 2b13, using generated spec_helper.

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

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 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

When I''ve got a view example like this: 1: response.should have_tag "fieldset#children" do 2: with_tag "child" 3: end If it can''t find ''child'', the error seems to come back as my_spec.rb:1 instead of my_spec.rb:2. Has anyone else experienced this? I just spent a while tracking down what I assumed was a problem in my have_tag only to

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?

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

Hello everyone: I am kind of puzzled in writing spec on view partials. I can not find much information about the "should have_tag" syntax in Rspec. Can rspec test a particular attribute of a tag (e.g. input tag)? Let me put an example here: #../view/group/_index <div id="test"> <input type="button" value="update" onclick="update()"

I''m trying to use rspec to test a controller that has ajax. I have the following action: def change_ad_type_form render :update do |page| page.replace_html ''ad_sub_form'', :partial => ''text'' end end and the following spec: specify "should return Text subform on AJAX request to change_ad_type_form" do

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, 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,

Hi, Thought this might be of interest story writers. The mechanize plugin seems to play nice with RSpec. The following mix of methods seems to work just fine. I especially like the helpers for populating forms. agent = WWW::Mechanize.new page = agent.get ''http://www.gmail.com'' page.should have_tag(''form'', :count => 1) form = page.forms.first form.email =

I am getting: undefined method `mock_model'' for [RSpec example]:#<Class:0x25550a8> with my view specs after upgrading to 1.0.8. Is anyone else seeing this? To isolate the message I did the following setup: - create new rails project (with edge) - installed rspec and rspec_on_rails - ran rake spec - ran script/generate rspec_scaffold products - tried to run a builtin view

Hello all, I have a view which display html based on the value of a variable. Here''s the code : <% if @language == ''e'' %> <%= link_to "Fran&ccedil;ais", :action => :index, :id => "f" %> <% end %> In my test, I''m trying to set the value of the variable first, but that just doesn''t seem to work : it

Hi I''ve got an RJS spec that is failing. It looks like this: specify "should have list of prooducts for particular provider" do @provider.products.each do |product| response.should have_tag("#product_name_#{product.id}", :text => "#{product.name}") end end It fails when it renders a partial containing this: <td

I want to write a spec for a custom form builder, but I''m not really sure where it should live or how to include the right rspec_on_rails contexts. Ideally, I should be able to write a spec like: describe LabelledBuilder do it "should let me create a text field" do object = mock(object) object.stub!(:attribute).and_return("Test String") render

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.

Hi, I have the following example: it ''should have a form with an action attribute'' do response.should have_tag( "form[action=?]", ''/users/1/machines/1/trouble_tickets'') end for a form like so: <% form_for( :trouble_ticket, :url => { :action => ''create'', :user_id => @machine.current_owner,
