similar to: Ordering in view specs using have_tag and with_tag

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

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 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, I''ve been trying to find an answer for this problem in the last couple hours, but I think no discussion was about this exact same thing. So here it goes, hope someone can help. I''m trying to spec a view which works correctly on the browser, but that generates the following error when I run "rake spec:views". ActionView::TemplateError in ''/survey/show

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:

Good morning (Pacific Time). I have a controller action that, as a side-effect, sends an email to an administrator. I want it to do something like this: specify "when someone successfully signs up, an email should be sent to the administrator with the person''s contact page" do post :signup, {...lots o'' params} response should_be success #

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to rspec and I am running into a wall in testing my views. I have a RESTful resource Contracts with a nested resource of Line_items. I am trying to figure out how to test the "edit" form of the Line_items. What complicates this is the nested routing and how to account for it, and that there is a partial form (_form.haml) that both the edit.haml and

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 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 This is my first post here. I ave been using Rails for a couple of months, and am starting to put together a test suite. But I''m having a problem with assert_select in my functional tests. According to the documentation, it should be fine with two arguments - a CSS selector and a string to test it against. But no matter what I do I keep getting the exception: wrong number of

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

I wanted to test that the links below were being rendered in the views. - content_for :sidebar do %ul.links %li= edit_link edit_admin_contact_url(@contact), "Contact" # view test it "should have the correct side bar links" do do_render response.should have_tag("ul.links") do with_tag("a[href=?]",

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()"

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

[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

I''m trying to spec a view but haven''t done much view specing. This view render different partials depending on authentication of the user: annon, admin, player So I I''ll write if conditionals in the view with the partials it "should render signup propaganda for annon users trying to view games" do render "/games/index.rhtml"

Hey guys, Does anyone have any wisdom to share on the subject of speccing Rails layouts? Most of it''s plain old view specs stuff, but are there sensible ways to verify things like the yield call? (Mocking doesn''t catch that) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Patterson | Design & Code <matt at reprocessed org> | http://www.reprocessed.org/

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,

Hi I''m trying to spec a call to error_messages_for to avoid stubbing out whole models. Something like this: context "A rendered calculate_quote view" do setup do @form = mock("form") assigns[:form] = @form end specify "should render the error messages" do <SOMETHING>.should_receive(:error_messages_for).with

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,
