# This is an example of various ways I use Capybara to test the Submit button on my crud forms.
# I am using these tests to:
#  1. Confirm the form has a submit/commit button
#  2. Confirm that the submit/commit button has a particular css class ('btn-primary' from twitter bootstrap)
#  3. Confirm that the displayed value (or caption, if you will) of the submit/commit says "Save"

# Given this html inside of a form tag:
# 
#      <input class="btn btn-primary" id="submit" name="commit" type="submit" value="Save" />

Twitter Bootstrap control_container method

This view helper generates html output for a Twitter Bootstrap styled control-group
(input fields and check_boxes).

Basic usage in a view html.erb file (pass in the Model and the Attribute name):

<%= control_container(@user, :name) %>

It renders the following:

  <%=  link_to 'Sign out', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete %>
<% else %>
  <%= link_to 'Sign in', new_user_session_path %>
<% end %>

# When you do not want Users to be able to sign up for your site, rather, you want the admin to create the account and send them the login info.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

    user = User.new({ :email => email, :password => password })
    return user.save
  end
end

# This requires the admin to choose a password, so you could create a an algorithm to create
