jquery_mockjax_rails

This gem provides:

• jQuery Mockjax 1.5.2
• Ajax mocking helper in your Rspec integration tests

Requirements

• Rails 3.1 or later
• Assets pipeline enabled
• jQuery
• Rspec/Capybara integration tests

Installation

Add the jquery_mockjax_rails gem to your Gemfile

group :test do
  gem 'jquery_mockjax_rails'
end

And run bundle install

Getting Started

Stub the ajax request in a before block

describe 'My integration spec', js: true do

  before do
    stub_ajax url: '/api/path', responseText: { message: 'message' }
  end
end

Once the browser has been lauched, open the JS console and test the mocked response

$.getJSON('/api/path', function(data) { console.log(data.message) }); # => message

Acknowledgements

The original idea has come from ejholmes, however, the gem has been deprecated and does not work with current Rails 3 application using rspec/capybara integration test, so I've decided to re-write the gem from scratch. Most of the core code pieces have been emerged from ejholmes's work.
