Make your Rails Capybara testing even faster and more accurate! Looking for text strings is for the birds. ## Your Views It's easier to find things in Capybara tests if you add extra `data` attributes to fields and such. This gem does that for you if you link to and refer to things in a certain way. If you do, your tests turn from text blob and CSS selector messes to nice, clean, simple references to objects and attributes. ### Attributes Write out attributes using `attributes_for`: ``` haml #object = attributes_for object do |f| %h2= f.field(:name) %h3= f.field(:description) ``` Then look for those fields using Capybara! Because you shouldn't care about the DOM, just that your field is in there: ``` ruby @object = Object.create!(:name => @name, :description => @description) visit object_path(@object) find_attribute(:name, @object.name) find_attribute(:description, @object.description) ``` You can even make simple tables, a la Active Admin: ``` haml #object = attributes_table_for object do |f| = f.field :name = f.field :description ``` ## Not Finding Things Sometimes the absence of a thing is just as important as the presence of a thing. Make it easy on yourself: ``` ruby # selector's not there dont_find('#user') # object's not there ```
