I have a HomeController that renders one of two templates for its
index action based on whether or not the user is authenticated.
The template names are “index” and “authenticated_index”.
If I assert_template “index” when testing both use cases
assert_template returns true. I would not expect this as the
templates are not the same and for authenticated users you are not
getting the index controller but rather the atuhenticated_index
controller.
From a review of the docs for assert_template am I correct in seeing
that the code uses a string.match()? If this is true I could get many
false positives if I only require the template rendered to “match” the
string in my test as opposed to specifically ensure that the template
I want is rendered.
Am I wrong in my expectations/assumptions?
