In the end I gave up and used the less pretty solution: response.should have_tag("div.warning") This worked very well but when I tried to test a helper, I really couldn’t get it to work.

my test looked something like this:

it “should…”
flash[:warning] = “warning”
show_flash_helper
…

this didn’t set the flash in the helper when I used this solution. In the end I gave up and used the less pretty solution:

response.should have_tag(“div.warning”)

Brilliant! Have you thought of having FlashHash iteself extend Hash rather than reimplementing [] and []=? Was there any reason why you didn't go that way? Daniel Thanks for this! Brilliant!
