Test::Rails was dropped from ZenTest for the 4.0 release, but there
are still a lot of tests that use it.  This is Dray Lacy's extraction of
Test::Rails from ZenTest, updated to work with Rails 2.3.2 (at least
partially).

== DESCRIPTION

Test::Rails helps you build industrial-strength Rails code.

== FEATURES

* Test your controllers and views in isolation from each other.
* Test helper methods in isolation from your controllers, including those that
  use routing.
* Test::Rails provides some helpful assertions for dealing with collections,
  like #assert_empty and #assert_includes, as well as negated versions
  (#deny_empty, #deny_includes, etc.)

== SYNOPSYS

  # Typical View Test
  class RouteViewTest < Test::Rails::ViewTestCase

    fixtures :users, :routes, :points, :photos

    def test_delete
      # Set up instance variables for template
      assigns[:loggedin_user] = users(:herbert)
      assigns[:route] = routes(:work)

      # render template for the delete action in RouteController
      render

      # assert that there's a form with an action of "/route/destroy"
      assert_form form_url, :post do
        # with a hidden id field
        assert_input :hidden, :id
        # And a submit button that says 'Delete!'
        assert_submit 'Delete!'
      end

      # And a link back to the route so you don't delete it
      assert_links_to "/route/show/#{routes(:work).id}", 'No, I do not!'
    end

  end

  # Typical Layout Test
  require 'test/test_helper'

  # Create a dummy controller for layout views. This lets the setup use the
  # right path with minimum fuss.
  class LayoutsController < ApplicationController; end

  class LayoutsViewTest < Test::Rails::ViewTestCase

    fixtures :users, :routes, :points, :photos

    def test_default
      # Template set-up
      @request.request_uri = '/foo'
      assigns[:action_title] = 'Hello & Goodbye'

      # Render an empty string with the 'application' layout.
      render :text => '', :layout => 'application'

      # Assert content just like a regular view test.
      assert_links_to '/', 'Home'
      assert_links_to '/user', 'Login'
      deny_links_to '/user/logout', 'Logout'
      assert_title 'Hello &amp; Goodbye'
      assert_h 1, 'Hello &amp; Goodbye'
    end

  end
