how to test the contents of the p tag

[Roelof Wobben]

Hello,

I want to test the contents of the p tag here :

~~~

<div class="productinfo text-center">
                                              <%= image_tag product.image_url %>
                                              <h2><%=number_to_currency(product.price)%></h2>
                                               <p> <%= product.title %>   </p>
              <a href="#" class="btn btn-default add-to-cart"><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart"></i>Add to cart</a>
          </div>

~~~

I tried this assert_select'.single-products.p',1 but it do not work. I get 0 items found .

The problem with testing to that level is, sometimes the tag may not be rendered yet. Also, such tests tend to be brittle. You dont want to depend on things that change often, I would probably test that the product.title exists, regardless of what tag its wrapped in.

Thanks,

And how do I test this on a functional test for a controller.

I'm not very familiar with the out of the box Rails Testing framework you are using; I use Rspec. In your current case, it looks like you are getting 0 cause there is not .singleproducts class selector in the code

the p tag is nested inside the <div class="productinfo text-center">.
so you would probably need to access it using .productinfo.p
