As a side issue, in getting the input box ids to work with label ids as
I specified in the templates, I discovered that I had misread the
FormHelper api. I uncovered my mistake by writing a few tests to
exercise this feature as Rails own test/form_helper_test.rb did not.
The point is that I have submitted these tests as a patch to Rails and
they are awaiting verification for inclusion. Patches require three
reviewers for consideration by the core team. My submission has had one
positive review already. I would appreciate a couple of more. The
lighthouse ticket is 2096.
That reminds me of form_test_helper...
The deal is, with Rails out-of-the-box, you can test that a page wrote a form
correctly, and the next text can show the post processes the arguments correctly...
...but the test cannot show the form contained the correct fields. You could
mis-name a field, mis-name it in the first test, name it correctly in the next
test, and all tests would pass.
form_test_helper scrapes your @response.body, finds a target form, and then
posts it. It would catch the mis-named field situation.
Can webrat close that gap? Can Rails integration tests close that gap?
