I'm going through The RSpec Book, and (specifically around page 333) I
encountered a problem. Basically, whenever I use "should
have_selector" in a nested form, it silently passes when it SHOULD
fail.
I've been copying the code exactly as from the book. Now, there is
one major difference - I'm using Capybara while the book is using
Webrat. Why? I've had bigger problems with Webrat. In fact, when I
switch to Webrat by putting it in the Gemfile, I get this unidentified
method error in which has_selector isn't recognized (which is doubly
odd because this happens where I call have_selector...)
Anyway, here's the code:
-------new.html.erb_spec.rb-------
require 'spec_helper'
describe "messages/new.html.erb" do
let(:message) do
mock_model("Message").as_new_record.as_null_object
end
before do
assign :message, message
end
it "renders a form to create a message" do
render
rendered.should have_selector("form",
:method => "post",
:action => messages_path
) do |form|
form.should have_selector("input", :type => "submit") # this
should be failing right now!!!
end
end
# this should be failing right now!!!
it "renders a text field for the message title" do
message.stub(:title => "the title")
render
rendered.should have_selector("form") do |form|
form.should have_selector("input",
:type => "submit",
:name => "message[title]",
:value => "the title"
)
end
end
# this should be failing right now!!!
it "renders a text area for the message text" do
message.stub(:text => "the message")
render
rendered.should have_selector("form") do |form|
form.should have_selector("textarea",
:name => "message[text]",
:content => "the message"
)
end
end
end
-----new.html.erb------
<%= form_for @message do |f| %>
# nothing is in here, so those nested "should have_selector"
statements should fail
<% end %>
Thanks in advance!
