Adds the assert_select method for use in Rails functional test cases, which can be used to make assertions on the response HTML of a controller action. You can also call assert_select within another assert_select to make assertions on elements selected by the enclosing assertion.
Use css_select to select elements without making an assertions, either from the response HTML or elements selected by the enclosing assertion.
In addition to HTML responses, you can make the following assertions:
Also see HTML::Selector to learn how to use selectors.
RJS_PATTERN_HTML | = | "\"((\\\\\"|[^\"])*)\"" |
RJS_ANY_ID | = | "\"([^\"])*\"" |
RJS_STATEMENTS | = | { :chained_replace => "\\$\\(#{RJS_ANY_ID}\\)\\.replace\\(#{RJS_PATTERN_HTML}\\)", :chained_replace_html => "\\$\\(#{RJS_ANY_ID}\\)\\.update\\(#{RJS_PATTERN_HTML}\\)", :replace_html => "Element\\.update\\(#{RJS_ANY_ID}, #{RJS_PATTERN_HTML}\\)", :replace => "Element\\.replace\\(#{RJS_ANY_ID}, #{RJS_PATTERN_HTML}\\)" |
RJS_INSERTIONS | = | ["top", "bottom", "before", "after"] |
RJS_PATTERN_UNICODE_ESCAPED_CHAR | = | /\\u([0-9a-zA-Z]{4})/ |
An assertion that selects elements and makes one or more equality tests.
If the first argument is an element, selects all matching elements starting from (and including) that element and all its children in depth-first order.
If no element if specified, calling assert_select will select from the response HTML. Calling assert_select inside an assert_select block will run the assertion for each element selected by the enclosing assertion.
assert_select "ol>li" do |elements| elements.each do |element| assert_select element, "li" end end
Or for short:
assert_select "ol>li" do assert_select "li" end
The selector may be a CSS selector expression (String), an expression with substitution values, or an HTML::Selector object.
The equality test may be one of the following:
If no equality test specified, the assertion is true if at least one element selected.
To perform more than one equality tests, use a hash with the following keys:
If the method is called with a block, once all equality tests are evaluated the block is called with an array of all matched elements.
# At least one form element assert_select "form" # Form element includes four input fields assert_select "form input", 4 # Page title is "Welcome" assert_select "title", "Welcome" # Page title is "Welcome" and there is only one title element assert_select "title", {:count=>1, :text=>"Welcome"}, "Wrong title or more than one title element" # Page contains no forms assert_select "form", false, "This page must contain no forms" # Test the content and style assert_select "body div.header ul.menu" # Use substitution values assert_select "ol>li#?", /item-\d+/ # All input fields in the form have a name assert_select "form input" do assert_select "[name=?]", /.+/ # Not empty end
Extracts the body of an email and runs nested assertions on it.
You must enable deliveries for this assertion to work, use:
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
assert_select_email do assert_select "h1", "Email alert" end assert_select_email do items = assert_select "ol>li" items.each do # Work with items here... end end
Extracts the content of an element, treats it as encoded HTML and runs nested assertion on it.
You typically call this method within another assertion to operate on all currently selected elements. You can also pass an element or array of elements.
The content of each element is un-encoded, and wrapped in the root element encoded. It then calls the block with all un-encoded elements.
# Selects all bold tags from within the title of an ATOM feed's entries (perhaps to nab a section name prefix) assert_select_feed :atom, 1.0 do # Select each entry item and then the title item assert_select "entry>title" do # Run assertions on the encoded title elements assert_select_encoded do assert_select "b" end end end # Selects all paragraph tags from within the description of an RSS feed assert_select_feed :rss, 2.0 do # Select description element of each feed item. assert_select "channel>item>description" do # Run assertions on the encoded elements. assert_select_encoded do assert_select "p" end end end
Selects content from the RJS response.
With no arguments, asserts that one or more elements are updated or inserted by RJS statements.
Use the id argument to narrow down the assertion to only statements that update or insert an element with that identifier.
Use the first argument to narrow down assertions to only statements of that type. Possible values are :replace, :replace_html, :show, :hide, :toggle, :remove and :insert_html.
Use the argument :insert followed by an insertion position to narrow down the assertion to only statements that insert elements in that position. Possible values are :top, :bottom, :before and :after.
Using the :remove statement, you will be able to pass a block, but it will be ignored as there is no HTML passed for this statement.
Without a block, assert_select_rjs merely asserts that the response contains one or more RJS statements that replace or update content.
With a block, assert_select_rjs also selects all elements used in these statements and passes them to the block. Nested assertions are supported.
Calling assert_select_rjs with no arguments and using nested asserts asserts that the HTML content is returned by one or more RJS statements. Using assert_select directly makes the same assertion on the content, but without distinguishing whether the content is returned in an HTML or JavaScript.
# Replacing the element foo. # page.replace 'foo', ... assert_select_rjs :replace, "foo" # Replacing with the chained RJS proxy. # page[:foo].replace ... assert_select_rjs :chained_replace, 'foo' # Inserting into the element bar, top position. assert_select_rjs :insert, :top, "bar" # Remove the element bar assert_select_rjs :remove, "bar" # Changing the element foo, with an image. assert_select_rjs "foo" do assert_select "img[src=/images/logo.gif"" end # RJS inserts or updates a list with four items. assert_select_rjs do assert_select "ol>li", 4 end # The same, but shorter. assert_select "ol>li", 4
Select and return all matching elements.
If called with a single argument, uses that argument as a selector to match all elements of the current page. Returns an empty array if no match is found.
If called with two arguments, uses the first argument as the base element and the second argument as the selector. Attempts to match the base element and any of its children. Returns an empty array if no match is found.
The selector may be a CSS selector expression (String), an expression with substitution values (Array) or an HTML::Selector object.
# Selects all div tags divs = css_select("div") # Selects all paragraph tags and does something interesting pars = css_select("p") pars.each do |par| # Do something fun with paragraphs here... end # Selects all list items in unordered lists items = css_select("ul>li") # Selects all form tags and then all inputs inside the form forms = css_select("form") forms.each do |form| inputs = css_select(form, "input") ... end
assert_select and css_select call this to obtain the content in the HTML page, or from all the RJS statements, depending on the type of response.
