Minitest::HaveTag

Adds methods to Minitest to test for existence of HTML tags, including contents, within a provided string.

Currently adds the following methods:

• :assert_have_tag(actual, expected, contents = nil, msg = nil)

• :refute_have_tag(actual, expected, contents = nil, msg = nil)

• actual.must_have_tag(expected, contents = nil, msg = nil)

• actual.wont_have_tag(expected, contents = nil, msg = nil)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'minitest-have_tag'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install minitest-have_tag

Add the gem to your Gemfile or .gemspec file and then load the gem in your spec_helper.rb file as follows:

 # <snip...>
 
 require 'minitest/autorun'
 
 # load assert_have_tag() support
 require 'minitest/have_tag'
 
 # <snip...>

Adding the above to your spec_helper.rb file automatically adds the key helper methods to the Minitest::Assertions to test for existence of HTML tag, including contents, within the provided String.

 assert_have_tag('<br>', 'br')  #=> 
 
 # check for CSS :class attribute
 assert_have_tag('<hr class="divider">', 'hr.divider')
 assert_have_tag('<hr class="divider">', 'hr[@class=divider]')
 
 # check for CSS :id attribute
 assert_have_tag('<hr id="divider">', 'hr#divider')
 assert_have_tag('<hr id="divider">', 'hr[@id=divider]')
 
 # check for contents within a <div...>
 assert_have_tag('<div class="row">contents</div>', 'hr.row', 'contents')
 
 html = <<-HTML
   <div id="intro" class="row">
     <div class="col-md-12">
       <h1>Header</h1>
     </div>
   </div>
 HTML
 
 # 
 assert_have_tag(html, 'div#intro.row > .col-md-12 > h1', 'Header')
  

Produces an extensive error message when something is wrong

 assert_have_tag('<br>', 'brr')
   #=> 'Expected "<br>" to have tag ["brr"], but no such tag was found'

Method to test for non-existence of the expected HTML tag, including contents, within the provided string.

 refute_have_tag('<abbr>', 'br')  #=> 
 
 # check for CSS :class attribute
 refute_have_tag('<hr class="divider">', 'hr.space')
 refute_have_tag('<hr class="divider">', 'hr[@class=space]')
 
 # check for CSS :id attribute
 refute_have_tag('<hr id="divider">', 'hr#space')
 refute_have_tag('<hr id="divider">', 'hr[@id=space]')
 
 # check for contents within a <div...>
 refute_have_tag('<div class="row">contents</div>', 'hr.row', '<h1>Header</h1>')
 
 html = <<-HTML
   <div id="intro" class="row">
     <div class="col-md-12">
       <h1>Header</h1>
     </div>
   </div>
 HTML
 # 
 refute_have_tag(html, 'div#intro.row > .col-md-12 > h1', 'Header')

Produces an extensive error message when something is wrong:

 refute_have_tag('<br>', 'br')
   #=> 'Expected "<br>" to NOT have tag ["br"], but such a tag was found'

This Gem depends upon the following:

• minitest
• nokogiri

• bundler (~> 1.10)

• rake (~> 10.0)

• minitest-hooks

• minitest-rg

• simplecov

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rake spec to run the tests.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub.

This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix in a separate branch.
• Add spec tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with Rakefile, version, or history.
  • (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
