I am still not getting this to work. Here is what I have done: In index.html.erb
<table id="entities" caption="Entity Listing" title="All Entites" border="1" cellpadding="2"cellspacing="6" style="width:80em;" summary="This layout lists all of the entities on file and provides links to maintain dependent roles and data."> <thead> <tr> <th style="width:20em;">Short Name</th> ... </tr> ... </thead> <tbody> <% for entity in @entities %> <tr id="<%=dom_id(entity)%>"> <td><%=h entity.entity_name.titlecase -%></td> ... <td><%= "%06d" % entity.id -%></td> <td><%= link_to 'Show Entity', entity -%></td> <td><%= link_to 'Edit Entity', edit_entity_path(entity) -%></td> <td><%= link_to 'Destroy Entity', entity, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete -%></td> </tr> ... In the step definition file: When /I delete the "(.*)" entity/ do |row| visits entities_url puts entities_url my_entity = Entity.find_by_entity_name( "my entity number #{row.hll_words_to_i}") puts "selector found" if have_selector( "table > tbody > tr#" + dom_id(my_entity) + " > td > a") within("table > tbody > tr#" + dom_id(my_entity) + " > td > a") do click_link "Destroy Entity" end end The results: Scenario: Delete entity # features/app/models/entities/entity.feature:32 Given I have "4" valid entities # features/app/models/entities/step_definitions/entity_steps.rb:115 http://www.example.com/entities selector found When I delete the "first" entity # features/app/models/entities/step_definitions/entity_steps.rb:128 You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.to_html (NoMethodError) /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/webrat-0.3.4/lib/webrat/core/scope.rb:176:in `scoped_dom' The selector is found so what is my error? I have backed off the selector element by element to "table > tbody > tr#" + dom_id(myentity) with no change in the result. I always get a nil object error. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
