Method: Capybara::Node::Matchers#assert_text

Defined in:

lib/capybara/node/matchers.rb

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

Asserts that the page or current node has the given text content, ignoring any HTML tags.

Overloads:

• #assert_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 —

    Minimum number of times the text is expected to occur

  • :maximum (Integer) — default: nil —

    Maximum number of times the text is expected to occur

  • :between (Range) — default: nil —

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

  • :wait (Numeric) —

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

  • :exact (Boolean) —

    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_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.

  Options Hash (**options):

  • :count (Integer) — default: nil —

    Number of times the text is expected to occur

  • :minimum (Integer) — default: nil —

    Minimum number of times the text is expected to occur

  • :maximum (Integer) — default: nil —

    Maximum number of times the text is expected to occur

  • :between (Range) — default: nil —

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

  • :wait (Numeric) —

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

  • :exact (Boolean) —

    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

Returns:

• (true)

Raises:

• (Capybara::ExpectationNotMet) —
