I'm playing with step implementations that use hpricot to manipulate
response.body.
Here's what I have so far.
Very much work-in-progress, but may be of some use to you.
#This step implementation takes a button's label, collects the inputs and
does the POST/PUT
add.when("I click the $button_text button") do |button_text|
h = Hpricot(response.body)
form = h.search("form[button][text()=#{button_text}]").first
action = form[:action]
method = form[:method]
headers = {'HTTP_REFERER' => request.env['REQUEST_URI']}
params = {}
form.search('input').each{|i| params[i[:name]] = i[:value] }
send(method, action, params, headers)
end
#This step implementation takes an input field & value, and updates the
response.body
add.when("I set the $input_field to $value") do |input_field,value|
input_field.each{|s| s = s.sub!(/^'(.*?)'$/,'\1') } # strip the quotes if
used in the input field
input_field.gsub!(' ', '_') # join to get an id
to search for..not robust enough?
h = Hpricot(response.body) # get body in
Hpricot
field_element = h.search("input##{input_field}").first # find the input
field
field_element[:value] = value # update the
field's value
response.body = h.to_html # put the modified
body back in the response
end
