similar to: assert_select with respond_to JS or xhr?

Searched around this forum, but didn''t find an answer for this question. Can you help this newbie understand any overlap and/or difference between request.xhr? and respond_to? If request.xhr? is true, should I expect it wants.js below? respond_to do |wants| wants.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) } wants.js wants.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include

Hello, One of my functional tests looks like this: def test_presence_of_free_text profile = Profile.find :first post :edit, {:id => profile.id} assert_select "textarea", :name => "record[free_text_ec]" end The test results in a failure, because the element cannot be found. I''m pretty sure the element should be there, and I''ve tried

I have the following html <p><b>text</b>value</p> I can use assert_select "p>b", "text" to check the text portion, and assert_select "p", "value" to check that the value appears in a <p>. I cannot work out how to check that the two are in the same <p>. I have used assert_select for much more complex tasks but my mind

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,

Railsters: The assert_select system has a submit_form method that reads your current page''s form, and submits all its fields with their data. This works great for Test Driven Development because it tests your current page''s form and your controller''s action at the same time. Is there a submit_form that calls xhr, to submit a FORM thru Ajax? How easy would that be to

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 guys, I tried reading up the RSPEC Book (Dec 2010) and googled a bit but I could not find anything. I''m using Rspec2. Example: spec/factories/categories.rb ====================== FactoryGirl.define do factory :category_intakes, :class => ''category'' do name ''intakes and filters'' description ''airfilters and

Hi, I am using Rails 2.2.2 and have some javascript in my html.erb file in the body of the document, inside script tags. The script (which works as intended) contains the line for(var i=0; i<boxes.length; i++) In my functional tests I use assert_select and it is generating a warning "ignoring attempt to close boxes with script". It appears to be interpreting the text

Hi everybody. Assert_no_tag will be deprecated soon. How can i use assert_select for checking not existed tag? Thanks.

Hi all, In my application, I want seamless degradability so I use request.xhr? to check whether a request is an ajax call. However here and there, I need to use redirect_to - in this case the request is not xhr anymore, and the check doesn''t work as expected. Is there a way to make xhr- like redirect (which allow to get to another controller+action)? Thanks, - Chuong

I''d like to do an assert_select where only ONE of the matching elements needs to match the :text. It seems counterintuitive to me to require them *all* to match, which precludes me from testing the existence of a particular tag (h1) with some particular text if other instances of the same tag exist. I know that I can narrow down the field by using more detailed selectors, but it sure

Dear everybody I''m trying to develop a web application that makes use of AJAX, but also works if a user has no (or doesn''t want to use) JS. For normal requests, this is pretty easy. Almost every action ends with render blahblah, :layout => !request.xhr? This way, I can use the same action to render a full page (with layout) as well as rendering an AJAX request (only the

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 I have a window that looks like this -------------------- | | Enter -------------------- That box will take a command that the user enters and runs it on a server in the background loading a new window for the user to view the results. Is there a way to take multiple xhr requests so that the next request the user enters , a new window will pop up right away, instead of

hey guys, i am writing a couple of actions which are only used with an xhr. I ''protect'' them all against a direct access with the ''verify'' method in the controller verify :only => ..., :xhr => true it would be cool if the system would automatically recognize the xhr actions and protect them ... i want to postfix methods with ''_xhr'' and

Getting a strange error. In a story I have the following step: When "I submit a search name" do xhr :post, ''/searches'', {:search => {:given_name => "bob", :family_name => "smith"}} end I am getting: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (4 for 3) stories/searching_story_spec.rb:45 in "I submit a search name" But I only

Saw a lot of recommendations for Firebug (http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/) on this list. I''ve scanned its docs and tried it--many useful features. But I''m so dense that I can''t get it to spy XHR/AJAX requests and their response on FC5 running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Firebug 0.4. Can someone tell me how to get to

I''ve been battling with assert_select in my integration tests for several evenings now. I''m testing a multi-step form, and after submitting the first step, my assert_selects fail on the attempts to find the form on the next page. However if I print out the response object, it has the exact text of what I''m trying to match. Here is the complete integration test. The

Hey guys, I was having issues with some of the way assert_select worked, so I wrote an alternative to assert_select using hpricot. The major differences: * You get full support for CSS3 and limited XPath * It uses hpricot, which is fast; plus you get improvements to hpricot for free in assert_elements as long as you update the gem. * Blocks work a bit differently (assert_elements tests whether
