The opposite of assert_select?

Question

I am writing an app where it is desirable to check if a view does not have some functionality - in particular because that functionality must be presented only to users

Answer 1

You can easily define your own:

module ActionDispatch::Assertions::SelectorAssertions
  def refute_select(*a,&b)
    begin
      assert_select(*a,&b)
    rescue AssertionFailedError
      return
    end
    raise "fail" # there should be a better built-in alternative
  end
end
