ruby on rails - RSpec: should have_content can't find text -


i have following page

<ul class="account_menu dropdown-menu">     <li class="divider"></li>     <li class="current"><span>my account</span></li>     <li class="account"><a href="#">account-1 (editor)</a></li> </ul> 

testing cucumber using step

within(scope)     page.should have_content(content) end 

test passes when content = 'account-1' , fails content = 'my account'. scope both cases 'account_menu'

and should see "my account" within account menu  expected find text "my account" in "my accountaccount-1 (editor)" (rspec::expectations::expectationnotmeterror) 
  • rails 3.2.17
  • rspec-rails 2.14.1
  • capybara 2.1.0

why can't find 'my account' text? thanks

have_content ends concatenating content in unexpected ways. in case

<li class="current"><span>my account</span></li> <li class="account"><a href="#">account-1 (editor)</a></li> 

becomes "my accountaccount-1 (editor)"

if try

expect("my accountaccount-1 (editor)").to have_content("my account") 

it fail technically correct since "my account " not in string. alternative use match matcher or test concatenated string (ugly).
