icaruswings / gizmo Goto Github PK

hey Luke, Is it possible to use Gizmo with Celerity?
I am trying but I got an error in the method "on_page" in the helpers.rb.

cheers

I was just trying out gizmo on a project, and had an idea. What if, during your on_page_with block, you had helper methods that abstracted actions on the page?

Imagine doing this:

on_page_with :login do |page|
  page.login '[email protected]', 'test'
end

This is a pretty simple case, but I think it has a lot of potential to reduce the unDRYness of integration tests that happens so often.

It's actually not far of implementation-wise. Gizmo::Page instances already have a copy of driver/spec/etc they are running from, and store that as @browser. Using this, I was able to implement that page as:

module PageWithLogin

  def valid?
    has_selector?('#session_email') && has_selector?('#session_password')
  end

  def login(email, password)
    @browser.fill_in 'Email', :with => email
    @browser.fill_in 'Password', :with => password
    @browser.click_button 'Login'
  end

end

It's probably not a great idea to be using an instance variable here, so an attr reader would be more appropriate. Or... even crazier, maybe method_missing could try passing stuff to browser, or less crazy, could delegate known methods to it.

Thoughts?

Pretty much what the title says. The Page class's implementation of method_missing doesn't forward the code block. This stops Capybara's "within" method from working. It looks like this can easily be fixed by adding it to the list of parameters, and passing it in the send method:

def method_missing name, *args, &block
  method_name = name.to_sym
  return super unless browser.respond_to?(method_name)
  browser.send(method_name, *args, &block)
end

This works in a simple trial, but I haven't checked anything else.

(Nice framework, btw)

Thanks
Matt

Just started using the gem and am liking it. Since I started with a blank gemfile and worked my way up from there I found that the term-ansicolor gem which is required in lib/gizmo.rb is not a dependency in version 0.1.1. Easy enough to work around, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
