assert_response

v3.2.1 - Show latest stable - Class: ActionDispatch::Assertions::ResponseAssertions

assert_response(type, message = nil)

public

Asserts that the response is one of the following types:

:success - Status code was 200
:redirect - Status code was in the 300-399 range
:missing - Status code was 404
:error - Status code was in the 500-599 range

You can also pass an explicit status number like assert_response(501) or its symbolic equivalent assert_response(:not_implemented). See Rack::Utils::SYMBOL_TO_STATUS_CODE for a full list.

Examples

# assert that the response was a redirection
assert_response :redirect

# assert that the response code was status code 401 (unauthorized)
assert_response 401

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/assertions/response.rb, line 28
      def assert_response(type, message = nil)

        if type.in?([:success, :missing, :redirect, :error]) && @response.send("#{type}?")
          assert_block("") { true } # to count the assertion
        elsif type.is_a?(Fixnum) && @response.response_code == type
          assert_block("") { true } # to count the assertion
        elsif type.is_a?(Symbol) && @response.response_code == Rack::Utils::SYMBOL_TO_STATUS_CODE[type]
          assert_block("") { true } # to count the assertion
        else
          flunk(build_message(message, "Expected response to be a <?>, but was <?>", type, @response.response_code))
        end
