Testing rjs redirects

I’m trying to test the following code:

render :update do |page|
  @story.destroy
  flash[:status] = "Story \"#{@story.title}\" has been deleted."
  page.redirect_to request.referer
end

I know that assert_redirected doesn’t work.

I found this blog post from 2006 (http://www.caboo.se/articles/
2006/2/20/assert-yourself-man-redirecting-with-rjs) and I was
wondering if there’s a better/different way of achieving the same

Thanks in advance,

Mauro

In the past i’ve used the arts plugin (http://glu.ttono.us/articles/
2006/05/29/guide-test-driven-rjs-with-arts) in the past.

Not quite, and yes it did. The assert_select_rjs isn’t quite the same
as ARTS was. better in someways, different in others.
It could/can do assert_rjs :redirect_to, :action => ‘foo’

At the end of the day all that’s doing though is asserting that the
output contains window.location="…"

Thanks a lot for your response!

Where could I find arts? I see that it indeed has the capability of
testing for :redirect_to…

The last known location http://thar.be/svn/projects/plugins/arts is
not responding anymore…
