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.

I am following the rails tutorial: http://railstutorial.org/chapters/filling-in-the-layout#top Basically the test is something like: spec/requests/layout_links_spec.rb require ''spec_helper'' describe "LayoutLinks" do it "should have a Home page at ''/''" do get ''/'' response.should

I''m in the process of updating an app for Rails 3.0 and rspec-rails 2.0.0.beta20. When I''m running my specs (rake spec) I get a large number of errors caused by two undefined methods undefined method `has_selector?'' for #<String:0x7fdbd0b5b270> undefined method `flunk'' for

>From looking at the RSpec Rails documentation (https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/view-specs/view-spec) it seems like rendered is just a string and you can''t really do any assert_select type stuff out of the box. After Googling around, it seems that the RSpec authors decided that if you want that functionality, you should just use Capybara or some such... is that

I have a step definition like this: Then "the account should be created" do account = Account.find_by_name("my shiny new account") p account.class account.should_not be_blank end When running this step, I got the error message: Account(id: integer, name: string, state: string, next_renewal_at: date, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, full_domain: string,

Is there a decent way to add a field to a form before posting it? I haven''t tried using HPricot manipulations just yet, since I can''t ever find really solid docs on hpricot.... Form#[]= doesn''t work because it first searches only pre-existing fields. I''m investigating how to write a patch now. But I thought maybe someone here might have an idea.

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

One of my controllers directly renders some JSON output that I would like to test with RSpec. For that I use ''response.should have_text("foobar")'' in my spec file, but that leads to a Failure/Error: response.should have_text("enim") undefined method `has_text?'' for #<ActionController::TestResponse: 0xb6736944> I read here somewhere that webrat

I am having an issue where a feature works fine but the corresponding test fails, and I can''t understand why. I created a mock application to demonstrate the problem. https://github.com/assafshomer/clear_button All it does is show an input form with a clear button. The clearing happens by redirecting back to the same form. It does clear it when you run the app, but the test for it

Hi, This is my first post, I wanted to ask a quick question about "Bad Form" -- rather, am I doing something with Mechanise I shouldn''t be doing? Here''s the long and short of it - I am using Mechanize with Cucumber and RSpec to test a *ahem* Perl XML web service.. talk about technology soup, but I have it working quite well. I have an example project on GitHub that

I like Shoulda. Sometimes I like plain old Test::Unit. Cucumber gives me a different thought process. I''d just like to hear some thoughts on why RSpec? What does it buy me that I can''t get with Shoulda? I just can''t seem to think in RSpec. Where is there a good example of RSpec tests that will help me grasp the right path? Thanks! -- Amos King

I have been using Rspec stories with Webrat feeling very productive and happy. Then I needed to do something with Selenium (Webrat could have done what I needed but it does not yet have the functionality). Selenium-core as part of a rails plugin looked nice but did not seem to fit with rspec stories. So I went the Selenium-rc route. Since Selenium uses a separate instance of rails

Hello, I have a controller action that raises a RecordNotFound exception if you''re not allowed to see something. In my global application controller (application.rb), I catch these and render the 404 template. But when I run cucumber (using webrat), it''s getting the full stacktrace (the step blows up). Any ideas why? I have consider_all_requests_local turned off in my test.rb.

This https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/commit/59793dcc349b64f4ebcf742606371001256c774d is exciting news!! ("this adds capybara matchers to view and helper specs") Now, if I just knew how to take advantage of it? Do I have to require something else in spec_helper? I have already added included gem ''rspec-rails'', ''~> 2.6.0.rc2'' gem

The following tests used to reside in requests directory and used to work ... since I have upgraded to rails 3.2.9 and now 3.2.10 they fail. I have the following tests in(I am only showing the first two tests): spec/features/authentication_pages_spec.rb require ''spec_helper'' describe "Authentication" do subject { page }

This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story testing. MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through frameworks like Selenium/Watir. But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development. Now I have a choice: 1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat) 2. Use

Hey guys, We developed this plugin while writing my first real set of RSpec stories. It''s still missing a lot of functionality, but it''s useful to us as is, so I''m shipping 0.1.0. (Patches welcome. :) ) Code is available at: http://svn.eastmedia.net/public/plugins/webrat/ What do you think? -Bryan Here''s the README:

I added cucumber to my rails project using the following commands: git submodule add git://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber.git \ vendor/plugins/cucumber ruby script/generate cucumber git submodule add git://github.com/brynary/webrat.git \ vendor/plugins/webrat git submodule add git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git \ vendor/plugins/rspec git submodule add

Just trying to get cucumber/webrat going and so after following the installation process here http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/ruby-on-rails i wrote a quick feature and when I rake features, I get the following in the console: c:/InstantRails-2.0-win/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.2/lib/acti ve_support/dependencies.rb:262:in `load_missing_constant'': Expected
