This is my new.html.erb_spec.rb: let(:meal) do mock_model("Meal").as_new_record.as_null_object end before(:each) do assign(:meal, meal) end
it "shows the name text field" do render rendered.should have_field(:name) # checks for both the label and the text field... right? end it "shows the description text area" do pending "This passes when it shouldn't" render rendered.should have_field(:description) # have_field is for text fields and text areas (w/labels)... right? end it "shows the ingredients text area" do pending "This passes when it shouldn't" render rendered.should have_field(:ingredients) end ========== This is my new.html.erb: <!--admin/meals#new--> <div id="meal_new"> <h3>New Meal</h3> <%= render :partial => "form", :locals => { :meal => @meal, :button_name => "Create" } %> </div> It renders this partial... ========== The partial - _form.html.erb <%= form_for [:admin, meal] do |f| %> <%= f.label :name %> <%= f.text_field :name %> <!---Nothing about f.text_area :description or ingredients here! --> <%= f.submit button_name %> <% end %> ============= The problem: rendered.should have_field(:description) and the one for ingredients are passing although I never specify the description / ingredient text fields or textareas in the form. Why is this? It seems that the presence of the label and text field for :name is enough to make any have_field pass... (have_field DOES test for text fields or text areas, right?) (why does the documentation basically tell you /nothing/? no example or anything.... http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/RSpecMatchers#have_field-instance_method) Help would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
