I would like to use webrat with merb – any plans on releasing webrat as a gem?

I just started using this today, and it is pretty neat. It seemed to be missing anyhting for radio buttons, so I patched my install with this (in sessions.rb)

def selects_radio_button(field, options = {})
  value = options[:choice]
end

radios = find_field_by_name_or_label(field)
return flunk("Could not find radio button #{field.inspect}") if radios.nil?
radios = [radios].flatten
if radios.size > 1
  radios = radios.select{|r| r.attributes["type"]  "radio" && (r.attributes["value"]  value || r.attributes["value"].blank?)}
  return flunk("Could not find valid radio button #{field.inspect}") if radios.empty?
end
radio = radios.first
return flunk("#{field.inspect} is not a valid radio button") unless radio.attributes["type"]=="radio" 
add_form_data(radio, radio.attributes["value"] || "on")

and I put this in webrat steps:

When "selects choice '$choice' for $radio" do |choice, radio|
  selects_radio_button radio, :with => choice
end

It’s ugly and not tested very well but it’s a start.

Hey, I’m working on a post covering the state of view testing and would love to include something about webrat. Working from your README it is not clear how to integrate this library into my spec suite.

is it appropriate to make a new webrat session like so:


     @webrat = ActionController::Integration::Session.new

and then run examples like this?

it "can log in" do
  @webrat.visits "/login" 
  @webrat.fills_in "login", :with => "user" 
  @webrat.fills_in "password", :with => "l00ser" 
  @webrat.clicks_button "Log in" 
  @webrat.response.body.should match(/Users/)
end

Awesome, Bryan. I need to add a acceptance/full-stack-integration test, but don’t want the hassle of having to run watir/selenium. I was considering throwing something together with mechanize/hpricot, but now I don’t need to (and this is more full-featured than I’d do for a one-off). :D
