The new version of Spreewald Show archive.org snapshot makes it easier to inspect form values.

Testing the value of any type of input control

• When the step Then the "foo" field should contain "bar" is applied to a <select>, it now tests against option labels, not option values.
• This is now consistent with Then "bar" should be selected for "foo".
• This means you can now use Then the "foo" field should contain "bar" is applied to a <select> for all types of input controls.

Handling of selects with no selected option

• When testing the value of a <select> and none of its options is selected, we assume the value to be the value of the first option.
• This is how real browsers behave when the form is submitted.
• This applies to both Then the "foo" field should contain "bar" and Then "bar" should be selected for "foo".

You can now say:

Then I should see a form with the following values:
  | E-mail    | foo@bar.com   |
  | Role      | Administrator |
  | Full name | Foo Bar       |

The step does not yet handle check boxes and radio buttons.

Spreewald has tests!

Just a reminder that we recently added Cucumber features to test Spreewald steps. They're really easy to use! Please add your own tests for steps you add or change.
