Test the html in your functional tests using the wicked Hpricot CSS / XPath selectors. Requires Hpricot. Designed for use with ActiveSupport::TestCase (Test/Unit)

Install¶ ↑

gem install should_pricot

(or use bundler)

Example¶ ↑

• I want to test something appears on the page:

  element('h1').should_be_present
  

• I want to test something does not appear:

  element('#power_user a[@href="/create/havok"]').should_be_missing
  

• I want to check an elements contents:

  element('.intro p').should_be 'Welcome'
  

• I want to count the number of times something appears:

  count('ol#girlfriends li').should_be 6
  

• You can also pass a regex

  element("div.wicked").should_be /containg this/
  

• Even better

  element('.date').should_contain "today"

  element("div.wicked", some_html).should_be_present
  

Please refer to the Hpricot library for more examples of the kind of selectors available.

Mad props to Kid80 for the regex matching patch.
