Add email helper methods to spec helper

[stevepolitodesign]

When writing integration and/or system tests, I want to be able to easily test mailer links so that my developer experience is improved.

Acceptance Criteria

• Create a helper method that returns the latest email for an email address.
• Create a helper method that makes it so we can click a link in an email.

I think it would be a nice addition if we added current_email and email_link helper methods for testing. Below is are the proposed helper methods inspired from a personal post. Similar to capybara-email

def open_latest_email_for(email_address)
  @current_email = ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.reverse.detect do |email|
    email.to.include?(email_address)
  end
end

def current_email
  @current_email ||= ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.last
end

def email_link(email, string)
  document = Capybara.string(email.body.to_s)
  link = document.find(:link, string)[:href]

  localize_link(link)
end

private

def localize_link(link)
  uri = URI.parse(link)

  if uri.query
    "#{uri.path}?#{uri.query}"
  else
    uri.path
  end
end

This might be rendered obsolete thanks to assert_dom_email and capture_emails

I've had good luck with this:

class AttorneysTest < ApplicationSystemTestCase
  include ActionMailer::TestHelper

  test "creating an account" do
    visit new_attorney_registration_path

    email = capture_emails do
      fill_in "Name", with: "Chuck McGill"
      fill_in "Email", with: "chuck@hhm.com"
      fill_in "Password", with: "password"
      fill_in "Password confirmation", with: "password"

      click_button "Sign up"
    end

    assert_text I18n.t("devise.registrations.signed_up_but_unconfirmed")

    click_link(email.first, "Confirm my account")

    assert_text I18n.t("devise.confirmations.confirmed")
  end

  def click_link(email, string)
    document = Capybara.string(email.body.to_s)
    link = document.find(:link, string)[:href]

    visit localize_link(link)
  end

  def localize_link(link)
    uri = URI.parse(link)

    if uri.query
      "#{uri.path}?#{uri.query}"
    else
      uri.path
    end
  end
end

The more I think about it, capybara-email might be a better option. Here's how I did it in Staples
