RSpec content matchers for turbo-stream response

Edit
equivalent Web Development
Public
Rails
RSpec
if you have RSpec request test  and 
In capybara if you want to check turbo stream content like


# spec/requests/hello_spec.rb
it do
  put my_path, params: { }, as: :turbo_stream
  expect(page).to have_content("hello")
end
it will not work

reason is that

page   is alias to 

def page
  Capybara.string(response.body)
end

which gets pretty much converted to #text  on have_content RSpec natcher evaluation

And `Capybara.string`  will remove any <template>  tags. 

try this in Rails c

 Capybara.string("<template>foo</template> bar").text
=>  bar # foo was ignored

Guess what: Turbo stream response wraps the response in  <template> ...frames... </template>

Source: this GH ticket for more info

so only way to test response with capybara 

it do 
  put my_path, params: { }, as: :turbo_stream
  template = Nokogiri(response.body).css('template').last.inner_html # fetch inner content of <template> that contains frames
  parsed = Capybara.string(template # parse the template content so RSpec matcher have_content  works
  expect(parsed).to have_content("Is this good?")
end

Helper 


# rails_spec.rb
# ...
def turbo_stream_page
  # turbo_stream wraps response in <template> tag, Capybara ignore template tags
  template_content = Nokogiri(response.body).css('template').last.inner_html
  Capybara.string(template_content)
end

test

# spec/requests/hello_spec.rb
it do
  put my_path, params: { }, as: :turbo_stream
  expect(turbo_stream_page).to have_content("hello")
end
