I have been messing with this all night, and can't figure out what's going wrong here. I have a test that renders the view, and then a shared behavior checks "response" for the various tags from a rails layout. The problem is matching. If I run in the browser the page renders fine. Is there a way to output what the response contains? Here are my tests:
describe 'backoffice layout implementor', :shared => true do it 'should render the backoffice stylesheet' do response.should have_tag('link', :attributes => {:rel => 'stylesheet', :href => '/stylesheets/backoffice.css'}) end it 'should display menu options' do response.should have_tag('a', :attributes => {:href => customers_path, :text => 'Customers'}) response.should have_tag('a', :attributes => {:href => products_path, :text => 'Products'}) response.should have_tag('a', :attributes => {:href => reservations_path, :text => 'Reservations'}) response.should have_tag('a', :attributes => {:href => reports_path, :text => 'Reports'}) response.should have_tag('a', :attributes => {:href => users_path, :text => 'Users'}) end it 'should display a logout link' do response.should have_tag('a', :attributes => {:href => session_path, :text => 'Logout'}) end end describe '/main/index GET' do before(:each) do User.current = User.new render 'main/index.html.haml' end it_should_behave_like 'backoffice layout implementor' end Here's the spec:views output: 1) '/main/index GET should render the backoffice stylesheet' FAILED Expected at least 1 element matching "link", found 0. <false> is not true. ./spec/views/main/../view_common.rb:5: 2) '/main/index GET should display menu options' FAILED Expected at least 1 element matching "a", found 0. <false> is not true. ./spec/views/main/../view_common.rb:9: 3) '/main/index GET should display a logout link' FAILED Expected at least 1 element matching "a", found 0. <false> is not true. ./spec/views/main/../view_common.rb:17: _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
