Public Instance methods

assert_any_xpath (xpath, matcher = nil, diagnostic = nil, &block)

Search nodes for a matching XPath whose AssertXPath::Element#inner_text matches a Regular Expression. Depends on assert_xml

xpath - a query string describing a path among XML nodes. See: XPath Tutorial Roundup
matcher - optional Regular Expression to test node contents
diagnostic - optional string to add to failure message
block|node| - optional block called once per match. If this block returns a value other than false or nil, assert_any_xpath stops looping and returns the current node

Example:

    def test_assert_any_xpath
      assert_xml '<yo><i>we</i><i zone="phone">find_me</i></yo>'
      assert_any_xpath '/yo/i', /find_me/
      assert_any_xpath :i, /find_me/
      assert_any_xpath :i, /we/
      assert_equal 'wefind_me', @xdoc.inner_text
      once = 0
      
      assert_any_xpath :i, /find_me/ do |i|
        assert_equal '<i zone=\'phone\'>find_me</i>', indent_xml.strip
        assert_equal 'phone', i[:zone]  #  ERGO  i.zone should raise if not found
        once += 1
        false  #  stops the loop
      end

      assert_equal 1, once
      once = 0
      
      node = assert_any_xpath :i do
               assert_equal '<i>we</i>', indent_xml.strip
               once += 1
               true
             end
      
      assert_equal 1, once
      assert_equal 'we', node.text
      twice = 0

      assert_any_xpath :i, /e/ do |node|
        assert_match /we|find_me/, node.text
        twice += 1
        false  #  false means keep looping
      end

      assert_equal 2, twice
      twice = 0

      assert_any_xpath :i do |node|
        assert_match /we|find_me/, node.text
        twice += 1
        false  #  false means keep looping
      end

      assert_equal 2, twice

      assert_raise_message AFE, /should find.*frootloop/ do
        assert_any_xpath :frootloop
      end
      
      assert_raise_message AFE, /can find.*i.*but can't find.*don't find me/ do

assert_hpricot (*args, &block)

This parses one XML string using Hpricot, so subsequent calls to assert_xpath will use Hpricot expressions. This method does not depend on invoke_hpricot, and subsequent test cases will run in their suite‘s mode.

Example:

    def test_assert_hpricot
      assert_hpricot '<yo><i>nope</i><i class="foo">b xml</i></yo>'
      assert_kind_of Hpricot::Doc, @hdoc
      called_once = false
      @hdoc.search('//i'){  called_once = true  }
      assert called_once
      assert_equal @xdoc, @hdoc
    end

assert_rexml (*args, &block)

Processes a string of text, or the hidden @response.body, using REXML, and sets the hidden @xdoc node. Does not depend on, or change, the values of invoke_rexml or invoke_hpricot

Example:

    def test_assert_rexml
      x = assert_rexml('<x id="42" />')
      assert_kind_of ::REXML::Element, x
      assert_equal '42', x[:id]
      x = assert_rexml('<x id="43" />')
      assert_equal '43', x[:id]
      assert_raise_message(AFE, /missing attribute.*v/){  x[:v]  }
    end

assert_tag_id (tag, id, diagnostic = nil, &block)

Wraps the common idiom assert_xpath(‘descendant-or-self::./my_tag[ @id = "my_id" ]’). Depends on assert_xml

tag - an XML node name, such as div or input. If this is a :symbol, we prefix ".//"
id - string or symbol uniquely identifying the node. This must not contain punctuation
diagnostic - optional string to add to failure message
block|node| - optional block containing assertions, based on assert_xpath, which operate on this node as the XPath ’.’ current node.

Returns the obtained REXML::Element node

Examples:

  assert_tag_id '/span/div', "audience_#{ring.id}" do
    assert_xpath 'table/tr/td[1]' do |td|
      #...
      assert_tag_id :form, :for_sale
    end
  end

    def test_assert_tag_id_and_tidy

                  '</html>', :quiet # about the two missing end tags!

      assert_tag_id :form, :for_sale do
        input = assert_tag_id('input', :item)
        assert_equal 'text', input[:type]
        assert_equal 'boots', input[:value]
      end
    end

    def test_assert_tag_id
      assert_xml '<html><form id="for_sale">
                    <input type="text" id="item" value="boots" />
                  </form></html>'

      assert_tag_id :form, :for_sale do
        input = assert_tag_id('input', :item)
        assert_equal 'text' , input[:type]
        assert_equal 'boots', input[:value]
      end

assert_tidy (messy = @response.body, verbosity = :noisy)

Thin wrapper on the Tidy command line program (the one released 2005 September)

messy - optional string containing messy HTML. Defaults to @response.body.
verbosity - optional noise level. Defaults to :noisy - any other value will repress all of Tidy‘s screams of horror regarding the quality of your HTML.

The resulting XHTML loads into assert_xml. Use this to retrofit assert_xpath tests to less-than-pristine HTML.

assert_tidy obeys invoke_rexml and invoke_hpricot, to select its HTML parser

Examples:

 get :adjust, :id => transaction.id  # <-- fetches ill-formed HTML
 assert_tidy @response.body, :quiet  # <-- upgrades it to well-formed
 assert_tag_id '//table', :payment_history do  # <-- sees good XML
   #...
 end

                  '</html>', :quiet # about the two missing end tags!

assert_xml(xml = @response.body [, assert_xpath arguments]) → @xdoc, or assert_xpath's return value

Prepare XML for assert_xpath et al

xml - optional string containing XML. Without it, we read @response.body
xpath, diagnostic, block - optional arguments passed to assert_xpath

Sets and returns the new secret @xdoc REXML::Element root

Assertions based on assert_xpath will call this automatically if the secret @xdoc is nil. This implies we may freely call assert_xpath after any method that populates @response.body — if @xdoc is nil. When in doubt, call assert_xml explicitly

assert_xml also translates the contents of assert_select nodes. Use this to bridge assertions from one system to another. For example:

Returns the first node in the XML

Examples:

  assert_select 'div#home_page' do |home_page|
    assert_xml home_page  #  <-- calls home_page.to_s
    assert_xpath ".//img[ @src = '#{newb.image_uri(self)}' ]"
    deny_tag_id :form, :edit_user
  end

    def test_assert_long_sick_expression
      assert_xml '<a><b>c</b><b>d<e g="h">f</e><e g="i">j</e></b></a>'
      a = assert_xpath('a')
      assert_match /^c/, (a / :b).text #  ERGO  more accurate?
      assert_match /^c/, (a / 'b').text
      assert_match /^d/, (a / 'b[2]').text
      assert_match /^f/, (a / 'b/e').text
      assert_equal 'h', (a / 'b/e')[:g]    unless @use_hpricot
      assert_equal 'h', (a / 'b/e').first[:g]  if @use_hpricot
    end

assert_xpath (xpath, diagnostic = nil, &block)

Return the first XML node matching a query string. Depends on assert_xml to populate our secret internal REXML::Element, @xdoc

xpath - a query string describing a path among XML nodes. See: XPath Tutorial Roundup
diagnostic - optional string to add to failure message
block|node| - optional block containing assertions, based on assert_xpath, which operate on this node as the XPath ’.’ current node

Returns the obtained REXML::Element node

Examples:

  render :partial => 'my_partial'

  assert_xpath '/table' do |table|
    assert_xpath './/p[ @class = "brown_text" ]/a' do |a|
      assert_equal user.login,   a.text  # <-- native <code>REXML::Element#text</code> method
      assert_match /\/my_name$/, a[:href]  # <-- attribute generated by +assert_xpath+
    end
    assert_equal "ring_#{ring.id}", table.id!  # <-- attribute generated by +assert_xpath+, escaped with !
  end

    def test_assert_xpath
      assert_xml '<bob><marley walkin="like he talk it" /></bob>'
      assert_xpath :bob
      assert_equal 'like he talk it', assert_xpath(:marley)[:walkin]

        assert_xpath '/bob', 'REXML can see <bob> because / re-roots the search'  unless @use_hpricot
      end

      assert_xpath '/bob/marley'
      assert_xpath 'bob/marley'
      bob = assert_xpath(:bob)
      that = self
      block_was_called = false

      bob.marley do
        that.assert_equal 'like he talk it', @walkin # <-- an attribute
        block_was_called = true
        true
      end

      assert block_was_called, 'child-methods should call their blocks'

deny_any_xpath (xpath, matcher, diagnostic = nil)

Negates assert_any_xpath. Depends on assert_xml

xpath - a query string describing a path among XML nodes. This must succeed - use deny_xpath for simple queries that must fail
matcher - optional Regular Expression to test node contents. If xpath locates multiple nodes, this pattern must fail to match each node to pass the assertion.
diagnostic - optional string to add to failure message

Contrived example:

  assert_xml '<heathrow><terminal>5</terminal><lean>methods</lean></heathrow>'

  assert_raise_message Test::Unit::AssertionFailedError,
                          /all xpath.*\.\/\/lean.*not have.*methods/ do
    deny_any_xpath :lean, /methods/

indent_xml (doc = @xdoc || assert_xml)

Pretty-print a REXML::Element or Hpricot::Elem

doc - optional element. Defaults to the current assert_xml document

returns: string with indented XML

Use this while developing a test case, to see what the current @xdoc node contains (as populated by assert_xml and manipulated by assert_xpath et al)

For example:

invoke_hpricot ()

This activates a secret variable, @use_hpricot, so subsequent assert_xml calls will use Hpricot. Use assert_hpricot to run one test case in Hpricot mode, and use invoke_hpricot, from your setup() method, to run entire suites in this mode. These test cases explore some differences between the two assertion systems:

    def test_assert_long_xpath
      assert_xml '<anna><marie><candy><lights>' +
                 '  <since><imp>' +
                 '    <pulp lay="things" />' +
                 '  </imp></since>' +
                 '</lights></candy></marie></anna>'

      assert_xpath '/anna/marie/candy/lights/since/imp/pulp[ @lay = "things" ]'
      anna = assert_xpath('/anna')
      pulp = anna/:marie/:candy/:lights/:since/:imp/:pulp
      assert_equal pulp.first[:lay], 'things'  if @use_hpricot
      assert_equal pulp[:lay],       'things'  unless @use_hpricot
      assert anna.marie.candy.lights.since.imp.pulp{ @lay == 'things' }
    end

333:   end

invoke_rexml ()

This passivates a secret variable, @use_hpricot, so subsequent assert_xml calls will use REXML. See invoke_hpricot to learn the various differences between the two systems
