Testing sidecar translations with RSpec

[cpjmcquillan]

Has anybody managed to load translations in tests when using the ViewComponent::Translatable API?

In tests I tend to include ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper
end

so I can do things like this.

expect(page).to have_content(t("messages.show.title"))

In ViewComponent unit tests I'd like to be able to do something similar.

I ended up defining a helper method for view component tests.

def t(component, key, **options)
  component.translate(key, **options)
end
