Hi, I've still been working on this, and can't figure it out.
I did see this old thread that covers a similar problem down the page a bit: http://groups.google.com/group/rspec/browse_thread/thread/b0c08ffd06c0f9e6#m sg_25d4f7ccf7362853 The OP eventually links to a project where it explains how to do what he was trying to do, which is here: http://github.com/yura/howto-rspec-custom-matchers/tree/master So I looked through, and it seems promising, but it's still not working. I mean that the difference is that he is doing something like: response.should have_form('/users') do with_text_field 'First name', 'user_first_name' end Etc. But I want to pass a variable to the block with the scope, so I want to do something like: response.should have_form('/users') do |form| form.should have_text_field 'First name' end I find that more readable. So does anyone know how I can do this? Also, in this person's code, he passes a scope to the matcher, like: Def have_form(action, &block) HaveForm.new action, self, &block End And then he uses it in matches? Like: response.should @scope.have_tag('form[action=?]', @action) do |form| @block.call if @block end So I'm stumped. Any help would be much appreciated, as I've been working on this for at least three days now.
