end

#assert_all_of_selectors([kind = Capybara.default_selector], *locators, **options) ⇒ Object

Asserts that all of the provided selectors are present on the given page or descendants of the current node. If options are provided, the assertion will check that each locator is present with those options as well (other than :wait).

page.assert_all_of_selectors(:custom, 'Tom', 'Joe', visible: all) page.assert_all_of_selectors(:css, '#my_div', 'a.not_clicked')

It accepts all options that Finders#all accepts, such as :text and :visible.

The :wait option applies to all of the selectors as a group, so all of the locators must be present within :wait (defaults to default_max_wait_time) seconds.

#assert_no_selector(*args, &optional_filter_block) ⇒ Object

Asserts that a given selector is not on the page or a descendant of the current node. Usage is identical to #assert_selector.

Query options such as :count, :minimum, :maximum, and :between are considered to be an integral part of the selector. This will return true, for example, if a page contains 4 anchors but the query expects 5:

page.assert_no_selector('a', minimum: 1) # Found, raises Capybara::ExpectationNotMet
page.assert_no_selector('a', count: 4)   # Found, raises Capybara::ExpectationNotMet
page.assert_no_selector('a', count: 5)   # Not Found, returns true

Parameters:

  • kind (Symbol)

    Optional selector type (:css, :xpath, :field, etc.). Defaults to default_selector.

  • locator (String)

    The locator for the specified selector

  • options (Hash)

    a customizable set of options

#assert_no_text(type, text, **options) ⇒ true #assert_no_text(text, **options) ⇒ true

Asserts that the page or current node doesn't have the given text content, ignoring any HTML tags.

Overloads:

  • #assert_no_text(type, text, **options) ⇒ true

    Parameters:

    • type (:all, :visible)

      Whether to check for only visible or all text. If this parameter is missing or nil then we use the value of ignore_hidden_elements, which defaults to true, corresponding to :visible.

    • text (String, Regexp)

      The string/regexp to check for. If it's a string, text is expected to include it. If it's a regexp, text is expected to match it.

    Options Hash (**options):

    • :count (Integer) — default: nil

      Number of times the text is expected to occur

    • :minimum (Integer) — default: nil

    • :between (Range) — default: nil

      Range of times that is expected to contain number of times text occurs

      Maximum time that Capybara will wait for text to eq/match given string/regexp argument. Defaults to default_max_wait_time.

      Whether text must be an exact match or just substring. Defaults to exact_text.

    • :normalize_ws (Boolean) — default: false

      When true replace all whitespace with standard spaces and collapse consecutive whitespace to a single space

  • #assert_no_text(text, **options) ⇒ true

    Parameters:

    • text (String, Regexp)

      The string/regexp to check for. If it's a string, text is expected to include it. If it's a regexp, text is expected to match it.

#assert_none_of_selectors([kind = Capybara.default_selector], *locators, **options) ⇒ Object

Asserts that none of the provided selectors are present on the given page or descendants of the current node. If options are provided, the assertion will check that each locator is not present with those options as well (other than :wait).

page.assert_none_of_selectors(:custom, 'Tom', 'Joe', visible: all) page.assert_none_of_selectors(:css, '#my_div', 'a.not_clicked')

It accepts all options that Finders#all accepts, such as :text and :visible.

The :wait option applies to all of the selectors as a group, so none of the locators must be present within :wait (defaults to default_max_wait_time) seconds.

#assert_not_matches_selector(*args, &optional_filter_block) ⇒ Object

Asserts that the current node does not match a given selector. Usage is identical to #assert_matches_selector.

Parameters:

  • kind (Symbol)

    Optional selector type (:css, :xpath, :field, etc.). Defaults to default_selector.

  • locator (String)

    The locator for the specified selector

  end
end

#assert_selector(*args, &optional_filter_block) ⇒ Object

Asserts that a given selector is on the page or a descendant of the current node.

page.assert_selector('p#foo')
page.assert_selector(:xpath, './/p[@id="foo"]')
page.assert_selector(:foo)

By default it will check if the expression occurs at least once, but a different number can be specified.

page.assert_selector('p#foo', count: 4)

This will check if the expression occurs exactly 4 times. See Finders#all for other available result size options.

If a :count of 0 is specified, it will behave like #assert_no_selector; however, use of that method is preferred over this one.

It also accepts all options that Finders#all accepts, such as :text and :visible.

page.assert_selector('li', text: 'Horse', visible: true)

#assert_selector can also accept XPath expressions generated by the XPath gem:

page.assert_selector(:xpath, XPath.descendant(:p))

Parameters:

  • kind (Symbol)

    Optional selector type (:css, :xpath, :field, etc.). Defaults to default_selector.

  • locator (String)

    The locator for the specified selector
