Speaking at The Rails Edge 3

Posted by David Wed, 06 Jun 2007 18:03:00 GMT

Mike Mangino of Elevated Rails and I are joining forces to do a talk at The Rails Edge in Chicago in August. We’ll be talking about how to use RSpec and Selenium together to drive the development of Rails applications.

Hope to see you there!

    my question is very similar to this one, can rspec+selenium finally support this: 
    
context "Test create user" do
  specify "should create a user when given valid user information" do
    open '/admin/users'
    page.should_include "All Users" 
    click 'link=New User'
    fill {:users=>{:login=>'forrestc', :firstname=>'Forrest', :lastname=>'Cao'}}
    submit
    response.should redirect_to '/admin/users'
    page.should_include "forrestc" 
  end
end

    Syntactically, no. Functionally, yes:

    describe "User admin" do
  it "should create a user when given valid user information" do
    @browser.open '/admin/users'
    @browser.get_body_text.should include('All Users')
    @browser.click 'link=New User'
    @browser.type 'name=login', 'forrestc'
    @browser.type 'name=firstname', 'Forrest'
    @browser.type 'name=lastname', 'Cao'
    @browser.submit "//form[@action='/users']" 
    @browser.get_location.should == '/admin/users'
    @browser.get_body_text.should include('forrestc')
  end

    We’re not wrapping Ruby selenese with custom expectation matchers – just providing access to it.
