I want to make assertion of the results of Calabash queries for labels with given ids. But the 'assert' method seems to not exist in Calabash. I test an iOS application.

My code:

Then(/^arrival date has been changed to day after departure date$/) do
    departure_date_day = query("label marked:'departure_date_day'", :text).first
    arrival_date_day = query("label marked:'arrival_date_day'", :text ()).first
    # assert arrival_date_day.to_i == departure_date_day.to_i + 1
end

How to do this?

Regards,

Michał

  • Why do you want to assert? To fail the test case? If so could consider using screenshot_and_raise. Where you can fail the test case and create a screenshot. – Lasse Mar 16 '15 at 05:23

These methods exist in the base Ruby stack rather than Calabash. You can find Ruby's assert methods here: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/minitest/rdoc/MiniTest/Assertions.html

More information is here: https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest

Rather than use assert, I personally like Ruby's 'should' syntax. First install this gem:

gem install rspec-expectations

then in features/support/env.rb:

require 'rspec/expectations'

finally, you can assert like so:

departure_date_day.should eq query("label marked:'departure_date_day'", :text).first

Should has been deprecated in favor of expect(). I still prefer should ... more info is here: http://rspec.info/blog/2012/06/rspecs-new-expectation-syntax/
