module MyViewHelper def tab_for(clazz, &block) content = with_output_buffer(&block) content_tag :li, content, :class => clazz end end module MyOtherViewHelper ... end describe "do it" do it "works" do ActionViewTester.tests MyViewHelper, MyOtherViewHelper ActionViewTester.new do |helper| helper.tab_for('kristian') { 'hello' }.should match /kristian/ helper.hello('david') { 'hello' }.should match /david/ end end end On Aug 23, 4:04 pm, Kristian Mandrup <kmandrup.git...@gmail.com> wrote: > I found > this:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/197164/how-do-i-test-rails-block-h... > > it 'should do something' do > helper.some_block_helper { the_block_code }.should XXXX > end > > but not sure how to use it > > I have a module which is extended on top of ActiveView::Base > > module MyViewExt > def area(clazz, &block) > content = with_output_buffer(&block) > content_tag :div, content, :class => clazz > end > end > > How would I go about testing this in isolation, especially that the > effect of using #with_output_buffer(&block) > is as expected (especially when I have nested calls of view helpers > using this approach!). > > Thanks. > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-us...@rubyforge.orghttp://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
