22,704 PointsFailure of index.html.erb_spec
After running bin/rake I've encountered a failure described as follows
1) todo_lists/index renders a list of todo_lists
Failure/Error: assert_select "tr>td", :text => "MyText".to_s, :count => 2
Minitest::Assertion:
<MyText> expected but was
<Title>..
Expected: 2
Actual: 0
# ./spec/views/todo_lists/index.html.erb_spec.rb:21:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
Here is a sample of my index.html.erb_spec.rb
describe "todo_lists/index" do
before(:each) do
assign(:todo_lists, [
stub_model(TodoList,
:title => "Title",
:description => "MyText"
),
stub_model(TodoList,
:title => "Title",
:description => "MyText"
)
])
end
it "renders a list of todo_lists" do
render
# Run the generator again with the --webrat flag if you want to use webrat matchers
assert_select "tr>td", :text => "Title".to_s, :count => 2
assert_select "tr>td", :text => "MyText".to_s, :count => 2
end
end
Here is a sample of the code in my index.html.erb
<tbody>
<% @todo_lists.each do |todo_list| %>
<tr id="<%= dom_id(todo_list) %>">
<td><%= todo_list.title %></td>
<td>
<%= link_to "List Items", todo_list_todo_items_path(todo_list) %>
<%= todo_list.description %>
<%= link_to 'Show', todo_list %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_todo_list_path(todo_list) %>
<%= link_to 'Destroy', todo_list, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>
</td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</tbody>
Any help would be appreciated in solving this issue! Thanks.

2,026 PointsHi Robert,
Are you using RSpec? I am not sure if your spec file is named correctly. I use the naming convention my_test_abc_spec.rb
, so there is only only dot in the name. Also I run my tests like this:
rspec path/to/file/my_test_abc_spec.rb
if I only want to test that specific file.
