Have_tag + quantity - question

Testing RSpec

Greetings,

Is there a way to check quantity of tags?

Something like this:

response.should have_tag(‘div’).quantity(4)

Thanks.

response.should have_tag(‘div’, 4)

Check the assert_select docs (have_tag wraps it) at
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Assertions/SelectorAssertions.html#M000547

Cheers,

Another great resource is

Ooh! Thank you; I wish I’d known that before. All this time I’ve
been using annoyingly complicated xpath tests:

Then /^I should see (\d+) people$/ do |num|
response.should
have_xpath(“//[count([contains(@class,‘person’)])=#{num}]”)
end

I’ve posted it on this list before, but if you’re writing view tests,
check
out Elementor:
http://pivotallabs.com/users/patn/blog/articles/608-better-view-testing-with-elementor.
It provides a much cleaner way of asserting on markup, and doesn’t
require
you to litter your expectations with CSS selectors.
