—8<— SO Post beginns here:
In my actual project I use the following gems for testing:
- capybara from git://github.com/jnicklas/capybara.git in revision
6641fddcfc337a3ddaa84ac59272e884090332c3 - rails (3.1.0.rc5) (and its requirements)
- factory_girl (2.0.1)
- factory_girl_rails (1.1.0)
- rspec (2.6.0)
- rspec-core (2.6.4)
- rspec-rails (2.6.1)
When doing rake spec I get the following error:
...F.....*................*....*.*.*.

Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/requests/articles_spec.rb:40 # Articles GET

I cant see any differences between the expectation and the result…
Can you point me in the right direction to make this one work?
The spec:
describe "GET /articles/:id" do
it "should show the article when clicking it", :type => :request
do
a = Factory.create(:article)#, :user => u)
a.save
visit articles_path
click_link a.title
page.should have_content a.title
page.should have_content a.body
end
end
The factory:
Factory.define :article do |a|
Factory.sequence :title do |i|
"#{1} - This is an article created just for testing purpose"
end
a.title { Factory.next(:title) }
a.association :user, :factory => :user #user { User.first }
a.body <<eot
Dieser Artikel ist nur zum testen, erfllt keinen Sinn und
langweilig ist mir ohnehin. Das sollte nur mal so gesagt werden… MfG
Euer Admin!
eot
end
The view:
<% title "Artikel - #{@article.title}" -%>
<%= @article.compiled -%>
The controller:
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
before_filter :login_required, :except => [:index, :show]
def show
@article = Article.find_by_title(params[:id])
end
end
And the model:
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :body, :message => "Es muss schon Text drin
stehen"
validates_presence_of :title, :message => “Du brauchst nen Titel
fr den Artikel”
validates_presence_of :user, :message => “Das htte nicht
passieren drfen… Es wurde kein Nutzer angegeben”
belongs_to :user
# before_save :compile_body
def compiled
body
end
def to_param
"#{title}"
end
end
If something is missing, please feel free to ask, I will put it here.
