Question

Here’s the relevant test:

#spec/requests/posts_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Posts pages" do
  subject { page }
  describe "edit" do
    let (:post) { Post.order('release_date desc').first }
    before do 
        visit posts_path
        within(:css, "div#post_#{post.id}") { click_link "Edit" }
        save_and_open_page # has correct title
    end

    it { should have_selector('title', "Editing #{post.title}" ) } # fails
  end
end

The failure message:

1) Posts pages edit 
 Failure/Error: it { should have_selector('title', "Editing #{post.title}" ) }
   expected css "Editing unde inventore illo accusamus" to return something

However, when the page opens in my browser via save_and_open_page, the title is correct and it has opened the correct edit page. I double-checked for any typos in the template vs. the test, and it matches up.

So what am I missing?

Answer 1

Your syntax for have_selector is wrong. Try this:

it { should have_selector('title', :text => "Editing #{post.title}" ) }
