Step tables

Testing RSpec
1

I am having some trouble using step tables.

I am trying with an step similar to the sample step generarated by the
cucumber generator

Then /^I should see the following froobles:$/ do |froobles|
froobles.raw[1…-1].each_with_index do |row, i|
row.each_with_index do |cell, j|
response.should have_selector(“table > tr:nth-child(#{i+2}) >
td:nth-child(#{j+1})”) { |td|
td.inner_text.should == cell
}
end
end
end

This works, and I understand the sintaxis, but the problem is that it
works even if I make an error with the data, because it seems that the
block of have_selector is never entered in, and I can’t check nothing
inside the block.

And another question.
I have seen that Cucumber::Model::Table has a ‘rows’ method for
accessing the rows of the table, but is not still in cucumber 0.1.15.
¿Where is the method raw defined?

Thanks.

¿Where is the method raw defined?
Sorry this is stupid.
Forget my last question

Can somebody confirm that the have_selector method yields to the block?
In all the test I have done it seems it does not work.

I even have try an step like this

when /whatever …/ do
response.should have_selector(“table > tr:nth-child(#{2}) >
td:nth-child(#{1})”) { |td|
td.inner_text.should == cell
“foo”.should == “bar” # I think this would fail no?
}
end

but the step pass without failing.

Ok.

I have solved my problem.

Because I am using spanish for wrinting my features, I didn’t paste the
exact sentences of the code I was using, and pasted instead a
“manual-translated similar” code.
And nobody could see the problem. Never more.

The problem was that I was writing the block for the have_selector with
do…end instead of {…}
And it didn’t work in these case.
Is this a bug or is it a special feature of this construct.

You have to use {} in this case. {} and do…end have different
precedence
rules in the Ruby language.

In this case, when you use do…end, the block gets sent to the #should
method (the leftmost), but if you use {} it gets sent to the
#have_selector
method (the rightmost).
