Testing rjs redirects

rubyonrails-talk

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,

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.

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.

The arts plug in has been incorporated into rails and I couldn't find it anywhere anymore. And as far as I know it didn't have this functionality either.

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...

seems to be a copy on github: GitHub - richpoirier/arts: Mirror of the ARTS Rails plugin.
