I'm trying to test specific content inside a pdf document which is being generated via the prawn gem and attached to an ActionMailer email. I'm using RSpec and Capybara for testing.
I've managed to test the filename like this
expect(ActionMailer::Base.deliveries[0].filename).to eq("my_file.pdf")
I thought that I've read somewhere that I have to test the pdf itself like this but it doesn't work.
`expect(ActionMailer::Base.deliveries[0].body.encoded).to have_content(user.first_name)``
When running the test, I get the following error:
Failure/Error: expect(ActionMailer::Base.deliveries[0].body.encoded).to have_content(user.first_name)
expected to find text "John" in "JVBERi0xLjQKJf////8KMSAwIG9iago8PCAvQ3JlYXRvciA8ZmVmZjAwNTAw MDcyMDA2MTAwNzcwMDZlPgovUHJvZHVjZXIgPGZlZmYwMDUwMDA3MjAwNjEw MDc3MDA2ZT4KPj4KZW5kb2JqCjIgMCBvYmoKPDwgL1R5cGUgL0NhdGFsb2cK L1BhZ2VzIDMgMCBSCj4+CmVuZG9iagozIDAgb2JqCjw8IC9UeXBlIC9QYWdl cwovQ291bnQgMQovS2lkcyBbNSAwIFJdCj4+CmVuZG9iago0IDAgb2JqCjw8 IC9MZW5ndGggMzE2NAo+PgpzdHJlYW0KcQpxCi9UcjEgZ3MKMjA2LjAwMCA2 NTYuMDAwIDIwMC4wMDAgMTAwLjAwMCByZQpTClEKCnEKNDAwLjAwMCAwIDAg NTAuMDAwIDEwNi4wMDAgNzA2LjAwMCBjbQovSTEgRG8KUQpxCi9UcjEgZ3MK MjA2LjAwMCA2NTYuMDAwIDIwMC4wMDAgMTAwLjAwMCByZQpTClEKCkJUCjIx OC40ODI1NTg1OTM3NSA2NDIuODk2IFRkCi9GMS4wIDE4IFRmCls8NTQ+IDEx MC44Mzk4NDM3NSA8NjU2OTZjNmU2MTY4NmQ2NTYyNjU3Mzc0OGE3NDY5Njc3 NTZlNjc+XSBUSgpFVAoKCkJUCjM2IDYyMy4zMjk5OTk5OTk5OTk5IFRkCkVU CgoKQlQKMzYgNjAzLjc2Mzk5OTk5OTk5OTkgVGQKRVQKCgpCVAoyNDguODUy
This text continues a long time.
Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't exactly look "testable" to me. Does someone know to do this? Thanks!
Firstly, your PDF-generation code should really be separate from your mailer code, and should have its own tests separate from your mailer tests. Please do this first.
Once you've separated your PDF-generation code and tests you can generate your PDF and test its content using the pdf-inspector gem, which is helpfully maintained by the same folks who make Prawn. Then in your mailer tests you can simply check whether the file is attached, using something like this.
P.S. The reason the email content looks garbled (JVBERi0xLjQ...) is that email attachments are (usually) Base64-encoded. But even if you decoded it, you might not be able to search the PDF content for a plaintext string without a library like pdf-inspector because it might be compressed (I don't know if Prawn does this by default). But really, your PDF code and tests and your email code and tests should be completely separate.

I have implemented a Json-ld dynamic creation process to boost my SEO. The JSON is created through the use of Jbuilder ( code is in a partial), rendered in a script tag with a type of "application/ld+json". All of it is wrapped up in a content_for, so that I can reuse the logic.
Once it has been implemented, I started to get this error in my console: "[Facebook Pixel] - Unable to parse JSON-LD tag. Malformed JSON found: ' "
I tested my Json-LD on the google structured data tool and everything came back ok.
I've added an hand written JSON-LD in my script tag, instead of my aforementioned logic,
everything looked ok. No error was displayed in the console, and Chrome Facebook Pixel
Helper was able to find my JSON-LD.
Bottom line, it appears that using my dynamic logic with the partials create a random " ' ", which makes no sense for me.
Any of you ever had the same issue, or something similar ?
May be templating engine is messing you up. You might consider using the json-ld gem to validate the output as part of continuous integration (you can also semantically validate the content using other gems).
I’ve had success using JSON-LD in Haml, but I just use to_json from a Hash hierarchy which has always worked well for me.
I have the rails application which accepts the XML output from another application. For some condition the XML tage content come up with CSS code
For example :
<\/sample/> .headermenu{float:left;no-repeat right;font-size:0.75em; padding-bottom:3px}, #div{float:left} This is the test value from another site <\/sample/>
In my ruby application i have parse the XML content and display the content.
It start displaying CSS content like the above. I want to display strip the CSS code if exist in the content.
Is their any way . we can do this please help...
raw method might help you.It outputs data without escaping a string. Check here http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/RawOutputHelper/raw for more details.
I dont know if this is what you are looking for but you can try css parser by the way whenever you need a rails or ruby gem just search for it at rubygems
ive just started with ruby on rails the other day and i was wandering is it possible to using the puts function to get the content of a div from a page on an external page.
something like puts "http://www.example.com #about"
would something like this work ? or would you have to get the entire page and then puts that section that you wanted ?
additionaly if the content on the "example.com" #about div is constantly changing would puts constantly update its output or would it only run the script each time the page is refreshed ?
The open-uri library (for fetching the page) and the Nokogiri gem (for parsing and retrieving specific content) can assist with this.
require 'open-uri'
require 'nokogiri'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open('http://www.example.com/'))
puts doc.at('#about').text
puts will not work that way. Ruby makes parsing HTML fairly easy though. Take a look at the Nokogirl library, and you can use xpath queries to get to the div you want to print out. I believe you would need to reopen the file if the div changes, but I'm not positive about that - you can easily test it (or someone here can confirm or reject that statement).
My program is dealing with emails which arrive as files (something.eml). In some circumstances I need to amend an attachment and then resave the file. I've been using the instructions here as a basis for my code, but there's no suggestion for trying to do exactly what I'd like. The code I have below successfully removes the original attachment and then tries to add in a new one.
#email.without_attachments!
#email.add_file(amended_version)
Unfortunately it goes wrong in two places. Firstly it seems to remove all mime parts, not just attachments. Any text/plain sections are also ditched. Secondly, if I test by reloading my amended .eml file, the attachment is no longer recognised, despite being in the file.
I've included a gist which includes the original and amended files from my current method.
Is there a better way to do this? Perhaps a way of replacing the attachment directly rather than get rid of it and adding again?
I don't know enough about mail formatting to know why this works, but it does.
I extracted just the line I was interested in from the without_attachments! method and it now seems to work fine. The non-attachment parts of the message are kept intact and the message re-reads fine. Code now reads....
#email.parts.delete_if { |p| p.attachment? }
#email.add_file(amended_version)
I have a web scraper built to parse html from a website and I'm trying to write tests for it.
The class I'm trying to test receives a Nokogiri HTML object and extracts the required data from it. Now as usual the html can vary, sometimes elements will be missing or whatnot. I need to test these different situations.
So what I'd like to do is make a bunch of html files, each one representing a case with a particular element missing etc. For each html file, I wish to also construct an associated hash of the data I would expect the scraper to extract, assuming it is working correctly.
So I would like to write a test which will iterate over these html files and compare the data extracted by the class being tested against the expected data and report whether or not it is correct.
Any suggestions as to how to do this?
Have a look at the Artifice, fakeweb or webmock gems, which override net/http in order to supply testable results.
