RSpec 1.0.8

Spec::Rails – Specifying Helpers

Helper Examples live in $RAILS_ROOT/spec/helpers/.

Writing specs for your helpers is a snap. Just tell the context the name of the helper …

describe RegistrationHelper do
  ...
end

... and then you can reference the methods directly because they are actually included in the specs!

Sample Helpers Examples

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'

describe PeopleHelper do

  it "should say hello" do
    say_hello.should == "Hello"
  end

  it "should provide person address text field tag" do
    @person = mock_model(Person)
    @person.stub!(:address).and_return("The moon")
    person_address_text_field.should == "<input id=\"person_address\" name=\"person[address]\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"The moon\" />"
  end
end
