Check content of attributes using rspec+webrat

Question

With rspec+webrat you can check various attributes like :href, :content, :class etc but how can I check the content of html5 custom attributes. It seems to complain about the second part of the attribute name.

If attribute is 'data-random' and I try to use have_selector('li', :data-random => 'string') it will complain that random is an undefined local variable or method.

I think this has more to do with the syntax of Ruby symbols. They cannot contain hyphen characters, unless they are quoted. Try this instead:

have_selector('li', :'data-random' => 'string')

It didn't seem to like that either. – user1116573 Feb 27 '12 at 00:08
Oops! Just tried using this again `:'data-method' => "delete"` and it worked. – user1116573 Mar 10 '12 at 12:13
