Forms spec

Assists in writing RSpec 2 expectations for Rails view code that include web form logic.

Template languages

Currently there is support for the following template languages:

• erb

Rails form helper DSLs

Currently there is support for the following Rails form helper DSLs:

• Standard Rails forms
• Simpleform
• Formtastic

Install

gem install forms-spec

Main gem dependencies

• code-spec

Usage

Use the method 'erb_code' to extract only the ERB code from a view. You want to ignore all the static in the view!

require 'forms-spec'

describe 'Formtastic form matcher' do      
  with_form_helper :formtastic
  
  context "Formtastic example 1 view file" do
    let(:form_file) { File.join erb_fixtures_dir, 'formtastic-ex1.erb' }
    
    it "content should match form expectations" do      
      form_file.should have_content do |content|
        content.erb_code.should have_semantic_form_for '@article' do |form|
          form.should have_inputs "Basic"
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

TODO

• Add support for HAML template language
• Create more comprehensive test suite

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add 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.
