at the moment I do it this way, hiding the complexity out of the

Then /^I should see the people search form$/ do
people_search_form_exists

Then /^I should not see the people search form$/ do
people_search_form_exists "not"
end
and then the method:
def people_search_form_exists negation = ""
neg = "_not" unless negation.blank?
response.send "should#{neg}".to_sym, have_tag('form#frmSearch')
end
this is a simple case, but what do you think about this? any blog
post or so
Yeah this is an annoying one isn't it. I sometimes get around it by
going old-skool and pulling out the Test::Unit assertion methods
instead:
Then /^I (should|should not) see the people search form$/ do |
maybe|
has_matching_tags = current_dom.css('form#frmSearch').length > 0
assert has_matching_tags == (maybe == "should")
end
I think that would work. It's shorter, but is it much easier to
understand?
