Hi Evan,
Can you rely on the convention that images are under RAILS_ROOT/public?
If so, you could do a little translucent-box testing. Maybe you could
use hpricot to get all the image elements and check their referenced
file's existence.
# I'm just BSing the hpricot
hpricot("doc/img") do |element|
element.attr('src').should be_existing_resource
end
Where be_existing_resource is a custom matcher with a simple
implementation of
def matches?(actual)
File.exists?(File.expand_path(RAILS_ROOT + actual))
end
(simple enough for a simple matcher, even)
This should give you a good deal of confidence without any hassle.
