DEPRECATED see comments: ember-testing: select an option (helper)

gistfile1.js

Ember.Test.registerHelper('selectFrom', 
  function(app, selector, value, description) {
    // choose an option
    find(selector).val(value);
    // trigger the change
    find(selector).change();
    // assert the selected option
    equal(find(selector+" option:selected").val(), value, description||"makes the selection");
    // promise
    return wait();
  }
);

Just a quick heads up - in the latest ember build (1.7 for example) you can use the fillIn helper to do this very thing :)

@toranb thanks :)

@toranb seconded. Slightly counterintuitive that fillIn works with fields that are selected rather than filled in, but the important thing is it's useful and works :)

So, how do we use fillIn to test the select view? I can't get it to work.

@rwwagner90 I just tried it on Ember 1.11.1 and it works fine

fillIn(selector, value);
