Hello,

    I am new to ruby and rails and have been following a tutorial. I created a test which should check if the response of a controller action includes a title tag with a specific content but it keeps failing. I have tested manually and it is there.

I get the following output in the console.

expected following output to contain a <title>Mike's Blog | Home</title> tag:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">


It looks like I am getting totally different HTML back from my get but I don't understand why. Can anyone help me out?

The test in read is the one which fails:
require 'spec_helper'

describe PagesController do

  describe "GET 'home'" do
    it "returns http success" do
      get 'home'
      response.should be_success
    end

    it "should have the right title" do
      get 'home'
      response.should have_selector("title", :content => "Mike's Blog | Home")
    end
  end

  describe "GET 'contact'" do
    it "returns http success" do
      get 'contact'
      response.should be_success
    end
  end

  describe "GET 'about'" do
    it "returns http success" do
      get 'about'
      response.should be_success
    end
  end

end


class PagesController < ApplicationController
  def home
  end

  def contact
  end

  def about
  end
end

 


<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Mike's Blog | Home</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Pages#home</h1>
        <p>Find me in app/views/pages/home.html.erb</p>
    </body>
</html>
