Question

I am testing an API call to the server using Cucumber + Capybara with Selenium WebDriver.
I managed to get the response obj, but how do you assert that the response body contains
certain String? For example if the response body contains “Hello World” I want to assert that
this response body (Which is string) contains a pattern “World”

ex. Something like:

response = http.request(request)
response.body.should
have_text(“World”)

Alternatively is there a way to get “application/json” from the response and assert the contents using
Capybara?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I think what your looking for is have_content.

response.body.should have_content("World")
