How can I test that a view does not display a particular string any
where?
E.g., the particular string is "I should not be here". In my
controller test, I have:
assert_select "div", /I should not be here/, false
but this does not work. It fails although I don't have that string in
the view. Also, I am testing against "div" blocks for now but what
I'd like to test is against the whole view.

Are you sure you have the correct syntax?

You can match against the whole response.
Note, however, that you should probably be doing most of your view
testing with Cucumber, and that RSpec is much better to work with than
Test::Unit.
