David Chelimsky: Speaking at The Rails Edge

Speaking at The Rails Edge

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!

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.

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

Good luck, David!
