I'm surprised either of them do. This DSL is just a factory method for a matcher class. Unless that matcher class includes Capybara and the Rails routing methods module (can't remember the name off-hand) you won't have access to either of these methods in the matcher. Look at the non-DSL way to create a matcher and this will make more sense. Also, you need to return true / false from #match, rather than using an assertion. cheers, Matt m...@mattwynne.net 07974 430184 _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
