Given an author named 'Alan Turing'
When users visit the authors index page
Then it should have link to delete an author
Hints
In order to delete a record according to the REST paradigm, a DELETE request needs to be made.
Unfortunately, not many browsers support this. They mostly use GET and POST.
However, the DELETE call can be made using JavaScript from the browser.
Rails supports this out of the box by including a piece of JavaScript called rails-ujs.
Using the data-method property of links, a different request can be made. This is also supported by Rails helpers:
<%= link_to 'Delete', author_path(author), method: :delete %>
Error
Expected to find css "a[data-method='delete'][href='/authors/1']" but there were no matches
