Capybara matchers I think will stay Capybara specific. However, you can use this gem to test any kind of string containing html: http://github.com/grimen/rspec_tag_matchers.

Need for it seems to be popping up everywhere. - Toni On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 5:51 PM, Brennon Bortz <[email protected]> wrote: > On 6 Sep 2010, at 15:39, David Chelimsky wrote: > > On Sep 6, 2010, at 9:20 AM, Brennon Bortz wrote: > > On 6 Sep 2010, at 14:55, David Chelimsky wrote: > > On Sep 6, 2010, at 8:15 AM, Brennon Bortz wrote: > > I'm developing another view test.
