= lindo Enables rendering of the body of an HTTP response from inside controller and integration tests. This makes it easy to diagnose problems when building assert_select statements or just sanity check the output of the test. == Installation Install the gem standalone: sudo gem install lindo Or install the gem in your Rails project: config.gem 'lindo' # add this line to environment.rb rake gems:install You may have to require and extend the Lindo module from your test or spec helper if you use sessions in your integration tests: require 'lindo' session.extend Lindo == Usage Insert the vr method in your functional test immediately after an HTTP request has been sent: def test_new post :new vr assert_select "div[id=header]" end vr attempts to open the response body in the default web browser. If you want to open the raw HTML in the default text editor instead, simply pass the :html symbol to the method: def test_new post :new vr(:html) ... end By default, vr looks for an instance variable named @response and calls the #body method on it. If your page body is stored in a different variable (such as when testing a mailer) you can pass the raw HTML directly to vr and it will do the right thing: def test_mailer mail = Mailer.create_notification vr(mail.body) ... end == Compatibility Lindo works with test/spec, test/unit, RSpec, and Cucumber. When testing with RSpec, ensure your controllers are using integrate_views otherwise nothing will show up when the browser opens. To use Lindo with Cucumber, a custom step can be written. It could look something like this: Then /^render the current page$/ do extend Lindo vr end == Running Unit Tests Use the rake command to run the unit tests for the plugin. The tests require that the Mocha gem be installed locally: sudo gem install mocha == Resources Repository: http://github.com/adeptware/lindo/ Blog: http://adeptware.com/blog Author: Adeptware, Inc.
