Tired of ugly assert_select calls?

assert_select "form[action=?][method=post]", sources_path do assert_select "input[type=text][name=?]", 'source[name]' assert_select "input[type=hidden][name=_method][value=put]" assert_select "input[type=submit]" end

How about some nice assert_selects?

assert_select form(:action => :post, :action => sources_path) do assert_select text_field(:name => 'source[name]') assert_select form_method_field(:put) assert_select submit_button end

nice_assert_select provides helpers for making the calls more rubyish and more readable. Currently, they are mostly limited to form related selectors that do attribute matching.

form text_field hidden_field password_field form_method_field (this is the hidden field Rails uses for determing what HTTP method to use, since browsers are generally limited to GET and POST) submit_button

It is by no means comprehensive, as it was extracted from a project which only needed these assert_selects.
