Question

What’s a decent way of doing it? Preferably matching a regexp.

my current code is like this:

describe "get #show" do
  context "signed in" do
    it "should have a link to edit profile" do
      # i sign in the user
      get :show
      response # i don't know what to do here
    end
  end
end

Thanks for the help!

It seems like you’re trying to do an acceptance test, which probably means you should defer to Capybara. Then you can do magic like

page.should have_css('edit_link', text: 'Edit me')
