What you are looking for is the string:

Form.reset("tag_form")

Ignore the escaping backslashes in the output from the matcher. To tell have_text that it can appear anyplace in the body of the response, use the regex /Form.reset("tag_form")/ in your call to have_text.

So, this should work:

response.should have_text(/Form.reset("tag_form")/)

Hope this works for you. Oh, and you might want to branch out and make sure that the content-type is text/javascript.

Thank you for your help. I still need a bit of help on calling have_text correctly.

I tried your version and it failed. Then I tried a couple of variations of this:

response.should have_text(/$('Form').reset(\"tag_form\")/) but I got this error message:

expected /$('Form').reset(\"tag_form\")/, got "Element.update(\"tag_list\", \"\");\nElement.toggle(\"add_tag\"); \nElement.toggle(\"new_tag\");\nForm.reset(\"tag_form\");"

Also tried:

response.should have_text(/Form.reset(\"tag_form\")/) That also failed. Any ideas?

Hello,

I couldn't find much info on this.

How do you rspec this: page.form.reset("form")

I looked in the have_rjs source code and I can't find anything on form reset.

Thanks,

I tend not to use rjs much, but what I suspect you are looking for is the response to contain a particular snippet of Javascript. So, it might look sort of like:

it "should send Javascript to reset the form" do
 post :action_that_resets_the_form
 response.should have_text(/$('form').reset()/)
end

Does this sound like what you are looking for?
