# Cache Test

<http://github.com/ferblape/cache_test>

A plugin for testing generation and expiration of action cache and fragment cached. Based on [cache test plugin](http://blog.cosinux.org/pages/page-cache-test)


## Example of usage

You can use all the new asserts in functional tests, in this way:

    assert_cache_fragment({:fragment => 'total_posts'}) do
      get :index, :user_id => users(:first)
      assert_response :success
    end

## About

This plugin is inspired by [cache_test](http://blog.cosinux.org/pages/page-cache-test), a great plugin that allowed you to test cache in Rails 1.x. 

It was so useful for me that I decided to upgrade it to Rails 2.x and add some tests. 

The test suite was extracted from the test suit of [shoulda](http://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda), another great plugin.
