As an interim solution, we added this as helper file in the stories root.
The key was figuring out what to mixin to.
class ActionController::Integration::Session
def with_input(id)
with_tag('input[id=?]',id)
end
def with_label(text)
with_tag('label',text)
end
def show_login_form
with_tag('h2','Log In')
have_tag ('form[action=?]','/sessions') do
with_input('username')
with_input('password')
with_tag('input[class=?]','image-submit')
end
end
def show_invitation_form
have_tag('form[action=?][method=?]',
membership_application_path(:show), 'get') do
with_label('Invitation Code:')
with_input('code')
end
end
end
