I have the following Rspec test:

it "Password reset instructions" do
    user = Factory(:user)
    user.send_reset_password_instructions

    email = last_email

    email.body.encoded.should match(edit_user_password_url(:reset_password_token => user.reset_password_token))
end

Trying to match the edit_password_url in a mailer

!!!
%html
  %head
    %meta{:content => "text/html; charset=UTF-8", "http-equiv" => "Content-Type"}/
  %body
    %h1 Hey #{@resource.first_name}
    %p Forget your password? Its cool-- it happens to the best of us.
    %p To reset the password to your TippingPress account, click the link below:
    %p= link_to 'Change my password', edit_password_url(@resource, :reset_password_token => @resource.reset_password_token)
    %p If you didn’t request a password change, you can email us at support@tippingpress.com.
    %p Best,
    %p

      %br  
      = link_to "TippingPress.com", "http://www.tippingpress.com"

I get the following error:

  1) UserMailer Password reset instructions
     Failure/Error: email.body.encoded.should match(edit_user_password_url(:reset_password_token => user.reset_password_token))
       expected "<!DOCTYPE html>\r\n<html>\r\n<head>\r\n<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'>\r\n</head>\r\n<body>\r\n<h1>Hey Tester</h1>\r\n<p>Forget your password? Its cool-- it happens to the best of us.</p>\r\n<p>To reset the password to your TippingPress account, click the link below:</p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http://localhost:3000/users/password/edit?reset_password_token=8RMhiAxsRihME1mL7JiE\">Change my password</a></p>\r\n<p>If you didn’t request a password change, you can email us at support@tippingpress.com.</p>\r\n<p>Best,</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAlex & Larson\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tippingpress.com\">TippingPress.com</a>\r\n</p>\r\n</body>\r\n</html>\r\n" to match "http://localhost:3000/users/password/edit?reset_password_token=8RMhiAxsRihME1mL7JiE"

Seems like the two urls match, I’m assuming this is some kind of error due to my lack of knowledge of REGEX or character encoding. Thank you in advance!

    Indeed, you’re not passing a regexp to the match method, but a mere string.

    You’d better do:

    email.body.encoded.should include(edit_user_password_url(:reset_password_token => user.reset_password_token))
