Thanks David. Those specs are very instructive. I have no idea what I
was doing wrong before, but the behavior I'm seeing now is indeed
consistent with the specs and matches what I had understood from the
code I'd looked at (I suspect it'll stop working as soon as I send
this :-) ).
Actually my situation is slightly more complex than what the specs
cover. I have something like this -
<div id="registration_link">
New user? Register <a href="/User/register">here</a>
</div>
and I'm testing it with a cucumber step that looks like this -
Then /^the response should contain a link to new user registration$/
do
@response.should have_tag('div', :id =>'registration_link', :content
=> 'New User? Register ') { |match|
match.should have_tag('a', :href => '/User/register', :content =>
'here')
}
end
One of the things I was unsure about was whether I could mix both the
text content and the second tag inside the outer element. Turns out
that this works just fine with the test above. Also, have_tag
('div#registration_link'...) works just as well as have_tag('div', :id
=> 'registration_link'...)
Mark.
