How to check if table column provided text?

Question

I am doing homework and should check to see if the column in the table provided HTML. I copied the example from web_steps.rb and tried to change to fit my needs, but the test failed. Step:

And I should not see 'G' 

Invalid step definition:

 Then /^(?:|I )should not see '([^']*)'$/ do |text| save_and_open_page if page.respond_to? :should page.find('#movies').should have_no_content(text) else assert page.find('#movies').has_no_content?(text) end end 

Error:

expected #has_no_content? ("G") to return true, received false (RSpec :: Expectations :: ExpectationNotMetError). / features / step _definitions / movie_steps.rb: 35: in /^(?:|I )should not see '([^']*)'$/' features/filter_movie_list.feature:37:in And I should not see "G"

movies is a table identifier.

The table looks like this:

I was stuck here and could not move on. Can someone give me some hint to solve this problem?

Answer 1

You may try:

 assert page.find('#movies').has_no_content?(">#{text}<") 

Answer 2

Well, the reason he fails is because he sees capital city G in "PG." Basically, you want to see a non-TD cell in the "Rating" column with a rating of G, right? What you might want to use is XPath at your step to turn around in TD and check that the whole cell contains / does not contain your text.
