Test for missing input tag value attribute

Question

How can I confirm the absence of an HTML attribute in a Rails RSpec test?

I can verify that the tag inputhas an attribute valueand that it is an empty string:

response.should have_tag("input[name=?][value=?]", "user[password]", "")
response.should have_tag("input[name=?][value=?]", "user[password_confirmation]", "")

But I want to check that my input fields do not have an attribute at all value(i.e. an empty field).

Answer 1

It revealed:

response.should_not have_tag("input[name=?][value]", "user[password]")
response.should_not have_tag("input[name=?][value]", "user[password_confirmation]")

Just use the attribute valuewithout =? part. Therefore, if the tag inputhas an attribute value, regardless of what it contains, the test will fail.

- has_selector:

    response.should have_selector("input#user_password", :content => "")

user_password - id ( ), , ( ), , id .

, , : content "x", .
