If and Page.Should have_css in Ruby

Question

I am a newbie in Ruby and I have a problem with if condition and page.should have when I programmed the A/B Test for log in function.

This is my code:

if (page.should have_css("body.bg-b")) || (page.should have_css("body.bg-c")) 
    #do something           
else
    #do something
end

It works fine in the if condition. My problem is in the case the page doesn't have bg-b or bg-c, it should go to else condition, right, but it stopped running and said

Capybara::ExpectationNotMet: expected to find css "body.bg-b" but there were no matches

Is there something wrong with this code?

Thanks

The keyword "should" seems you're asserting something.

If you simply want to make a IF, you should write something like this :

if (page.has_css?("body.bg-b")) || (page.has_css?("body.bg-c")) 
   # Check something with should
else
   # Check something else with should
end

It you want to check the page have a css or the other one, you should write

(page.has_css?("body.bg-b")) || (page.has_css?("body.bg-c")).should == true

Or

if !page.has_css?("body.bg-b")
  page.should have_css("body.bg-c")
end

they should all be `has_css?`, not `have_css?`. But the idea is right. – sevenseacat Mar 12 '14 at 10:55
@sevenseacat Sure, I don't use this syntax. I correct it. – pierallard Mar 12 '14 at 10:56
@ForgetTheNorm: thanks man, it worked for me, page.has_css?, this is what I need for my automation test. – Ragnarsson Mar 12 '14 at 11:00
