    <p>I have a Rails 2.3.5 app which is serving a card game. I've been a bit lax in writing tests for it (read: I haven't written any :embarrassed:), and I'd like to make a start now.</p> <p>From reading <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5483146/dhh-on-unit-testing-is-rspec-indeed-needlessly-complicated">other questions</a>, I think I probably want to be using Shoulda extending Test::Unit for unit testing. </p> <p>I wondered about using Capybara extending RSpec for functional testing, but the majority of users' interaction with the app is via POST, which I understand Capybara doesn't handle.</p> <p>Since this is a card game, I obviously need the ability to control <code>rand</code>; I also definitely need the framework to handle Javascript.</p> <ol> <li>Is Test::Unit + Shoulda suitable?</li> <li>Am I correct that Capybara can't handle POST? Can I work around that?</li> <li>Is there a better option instead of Capybara?</li> <li>Can these methods handle the randomness involved in a card-game? Presumably, for Test::Unit at least, I can just call <code>srand</code> at some early stage to fix the generator, but I don't know if that's doable for Capybara/RSpec/anything else.</li> <li>Can anyone point me to resources dealing specifically with setting up Shoulda, Capybara and RSpec for Rails 2.3.5? It's a little hard to tell what's Rails 3 specific and what isn't.</li> <li>Would I gain anything from adding Watir / Firewatir into the mix?</li> </ol> <p>I realise the above questions are manifold, but they basically boil down to "does this work, or have you any better suggestions?"</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
