Hello all, I have an acceptance test that aims to bdd a Google Apps OpenID authentication feature. This login screen also uses some JS (in order to switch between the regular / Google OpenID forms). Now, I know this is not something that would prevent me from using the :rack driver for Capybara, but it made me think of the following problem: What to do when you have a JS/Ajax-oriented page that makes web service calls and you need to write an integration/acceptance test for it?
The fact that a scenario uses Javascript (Culerity/Selenium/Whatever) means it will need to spawn a different process (Not sure about EnvJS, but I guess it also needs a rails server running? ) for the rails app server. This essentially prevents any mocking/stubbing/faking of requests. I wouldn't want a bunch of acceptance tests that actually make requests to web services, certainly a testing no-no. What do you guys think could be done in these cases? I remember seeing something a long time ago (a lib) that actually tried to solve the problem of mocking while having the two processes open. Or maybe it's too much troube to write integration tests for these kind of features? FYI, I'm using rSpec, Steak and Capybara+Culerity. Marcelo.
