Using `have_selector` Capybara might detect `<a>` tags which are not
links because they don't have an `href` attribute. Besides, with
`have_selector` Capybara only detects visible text, which means it won't
detect links which are icons with tooltips.
System tests are used to test the application from the user's point of
view. To test for specific exceptions, particularly regarding
authorization permissions, controller tests fit better.
Another option would be to test the page displayed shows a certain text,
like "Internal server error". I'm choosing controller tests because
they're faster and we're basically testing the same scenario many times
and we've already got a test checking what happens when users access a
page raising an exception.
Tests are easier to read now. Besides, since we changed the inputs in
the admin section so they don't use jQuery but an HTML date field,
formatting with %d/%m/%Y might not work depending on the browser's
locale.
We were repeating the same code over and over (with a few variants) to
setup tests which require an administrator. We can use a tag and
simplify the code.
This rule was added in rubocop-rspec 1.39.0. The `visible: false` option
is equivalent to `visible: :all`, but we generally use it meaning
`visible: :hidden` for positive expectations and `visible: :all` for
negative expectations.
The only exceptations are tests where we count the number of map icons
present. I'm assuming in this case we care about the number of map icons
independently on whether they are currently shown in the map, so I'm
keeping the `visible: :all` behavior in this case.
There were places where we had two links pointing to the same place; one
link would be the name/title of a record, and one link would be under
the "actions" column.
This is confusing, since users would probably expect these links to
point to different places (which is what happens in other tables in the
admin section) and might try to click one of them and then the other
one and be surprised when they found out both of them go to the same
page.
Using `render :nothing` was deprecated, but we never noticed it because
we didn't have a test for the action using it. In Rails 5.1, it raises
an exception.
Using `head :ok` and adding a test for this scenario solves the issue.
