Allow Webrat to read the data-method attribute
Reported by Edwin Vlieg | March 12th, 2010 @ 08:36 AM
Rails 3 will contain unobtrusive JavaScript helpers, allowing easy switching between JavaScript frameworks. By making use of the new data attributes of HTML5, Rails stores information about the action to take. In case of a link with a delete HTTP method, Webrat won't work:
link_to "Delete", instance, :method => :delete
In Rails 3, this will produce the following HTML:
<a href="/instance/123" data-method="delete">Delete</a>
The following monkey patch makes use of the "data-method" attribute and allows Webrat to follow delete links in Rails 3.
module Webrat
class Link < Element
def http_method
if !@element["data-method"].blank?
@element["data-method"]
elsif !onclick.blank? && onclick.include?("f.submit()")
http_method_from_js_form
else
:get
end
end
end
end
