ARID has a new home of it's own on RubyForge, and version 0.4 and improved documentation is now available.
ARID (ActiveResourceIntegrationDSL) is a Ruby on Rails plugin providing methods for simple and DRY integration testing of conventions-compliant RESTful Rails applications.
This version contains significant changes to how test methods are formatted and is NOT backwards compatible with tests for prior versions.
Changes
- :expected_response option is now just :expects
- creates_ and updates_ methods no longer go through the new and edit actions.
- added builds_ and edits_ methods that do continue on to creates_ or updates_ if passed a :params hash.
- renamed reads_ method to shows_ and aliased lists_ to shows_.
- renamed deletes_ to destroys_.
Bug Fixes
- significant updates to previously sparse documentation, now RDoc-able.
Ehancements
- added option to add HTTP headers to requests
- added support for textarea and select fields
- added support for nested resource paths
This version is currently being used in several production Rails 1.2.X apps and one Rails 2.0RC1 app still in development.
