Ok, now I have to ask. I am doing exercise 9.9 from the RoR tutorial (3.2).
I have this rspec/capybara test to make sure that admin user cannot delete him/herself: subject { page } . . . describe "as admin user" do let(:admin) { FactoryGirl.create(:admin) } before { sign_in admin } describe "submitting a DELETE request to the Users#destroy action" do before { delete user_path(admin) } specify { response.should redirect_to(root_path) } # cannot get the following test to work, even though in browser it works # it { should have_selector('div.alert.alert-error') } end end The test works otherwise ok, but the commented-out line fails when it shouldn't. I verified in browser that the flash error message does in fact appear - here is the html (hope the html entities for greater-than and less-than will be parsed in the following): <div class="alert alert-error">Admin cannot destroy him/herself.</div> Does this have to do with the fact that the server response involves redirect? How could this be fixed? I can live without this test, but I may need the info later. - Jussi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
