filling array fields does not work
Reported by ronin | February 7th, 2009 @ 04:08 PM
I have html with two checkboxes with the same name
<input id="option_1" name="options[]" type="checkbox" value="1" />
<label for="option_1">Option 1</label>
<input id="option_2" name="options[]" type="checkbox" value="2" />
<label for="option_2">Option 2</label>
When I try to check both these fields with webrat
check('Option 1')
check('Option 2')
i get ["12"] in params[:options] instead of ["1", "2"].

Hey Ronin,
Thanks for providing a boiled-down example case. I've added a spec to verify this functionality is working as expected in the latest webrat:
http://github.com/brynary/webrat...
Something else might be causing a problem, but I don't think it's this. Can you please make sure you're on the latest Webrat?
Cheers,
-Bryan

I figured out this is because file fields. When I submit the form with file attached then I get ["12"]. When the file field is empty I get correct value.

This is not a bug in Webrat. It's a bug in Rails, in ActionController::Integration::Session#multipart_requestify. When Rails builds the headers for a multipart request (which happens when a file is attached), it doesn't handle arrays properly. This only affects integration tests.
I've written a patch that works against Rails 2.3.2 http://gist.github.com/157056 and I'll try to get a fix into Rails itself.
