I have set up guard following Michael's RoR Tutorials and intentionally wrote a test (on contact page title) so it fails. But Guard/RSpec tells me it passed and I am confused what's going on. This is my static_pages_spec.rb
file:
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Static pages" do
describe "Home page" do
it "should have the content 'Welcome to the PWr App'" do
visit '/static_pages/home'
expect(page).to have_content('Welcome to the PWr App')
end
it "should have the title 'Home'" do
visit '/static_pages/home'
expect(page).to have_title("PWr | Home")
end
end
describe "Help page" do
it "should have the content 'Help'" do
visit '/static_pages/help'
expect(page).to have_content('Help')
end
it "should have title 'Help'" do
visit '/static_pages/help'
expect(page).to have_title("PWr | Help")
end
end
describe "About page" do
it "should have the content 'About me'" do
visit '/static_pages/about'
expect(page).to have_content('About Me')
end
it "should have title 'About Me'" do
visit '/static_pages/about'
expect(page).to have_title("PWr | About")
end
end
describe "Contact page" do
it "should have the content 'Contact'" do
visit '/static_pages/contact'
expect(page).to have_content('Contact')
end
it "should have title 'Contact'" do
visit '/static_pages/contact' do
expect(page).to have_title("FAIL")
end
end
end
end
And this is my contact.html.erb
:
<% provide(:title, 'Contact') %>
<h1>Contact</h1>
<p1>
If you need to contact me just call the number below: </br>
+48 737823884
</p>
And results from my terminal:
18:43:57 - INFO - Running: spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb

As you can see, in the spec file close to the end I have expect(page).to have_title("FAIL")
and in the contact page html/erb I clearly have <% provide(:title, 'Contact') %>
but the test passes. Why is this? What am I doing wrong?
The problem is that you are passing your expectation as a block to the visit method - ie notice the extra do-end
. I do not believe that visit
uses blocks, so basically that bit of code gets ignored.
it "should have title 'Contact'" do
visit '/static_pages/contact' do
expect(page).to have_title("FAIL")
end
end
Your spec should behave as expected if you remove the block.
it "should have title 'Contact'" do
visit '/static_pages/contact'
expect(page).to have_title("FAIL")
end
