Test views, be true! :)

Why?

• you need to test some complex views
• and you want to use rspec2
• and assert_select seems is something strange to you
• have_tag in rspec-rails are deprecated now
• you need user-firendly output in error messages

Being true

Install

add to your Gemfile(in group :test :) ):

gem 'rspec2-rails-views-matchers'

Usage

some examples:

rendered.should have_tag('form',:with => {:action => user_path, :method => 'post'}) do
  with_tag "input", :with => { :name => "user[email]",    :type => 'email' }
  with_tag "input#special_submit", :count => 1
  without_tag "h1", :text => 'unneeded tag'
  without_tag "p",  :text => /content/i
end

additional list of defined matchers ("form" matchers)

• have_form
• with_checkbox
• with_file_field
• with_hidden_field
• with_option
• with_password_field
• with_radio_button
• with_select
• with_submit
• with_text_area
• with_text_field

and of course you can use without_matchers
