Question

Inside this test file is code that looks like this:

        it "should include the base title" do
          full_title("foo").should =~ /^Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App/
        end

My question is what is “foo” doing in there? Can it be just any string? Because right now all my tests are passing with this “foo” parameter.

thanks,
mike

Answer 1

It’s checking that the helper method where ‘foo’ is passed as a parameter, returns the specified string. So, to make sure, you would need to check the full_title helper method.
