Hi,
I’ve just started using prawn but am at a bit of a loss how to create my
view specs for it.
For example, my normal view spec has things like
response.should have_tag(“blah”)
or
response.body.should =~ /something/

How do I do this with prawn output?
In what language is prawn output?
Generally speaking, a View is 2D or 3D, yet our tests must run in 1
dimension.
In HTML, we do that by parsing the elements back into a DOM, and
inspecting
this. We don’t necessarily do it by rendering a page and looking at it!
So if prawn were PS, can you get a post script parser, parse it, and
look for
your details?
(Note, too, that .should =~ is only a cheap approximation of parsing…)

Short answer, you can’t–at least not yet. PDF is not a plain text
markup language like HTML so its not a problem so easily solved. I
haven’t spec’d a PDF, but when looking into it at one point I came
across PDF Reader.

How do prawn’s own unit tests work?
