To test the response code with Capybara + Selenium, you can use the following approach:

  1. Use the page.status_code method provided by Capybara to get the HTTP status code of the current page.
  2. Assert the expected status code against the actual status code using an assertion method provided by your testing framework (e.g. RSpec, Minitest).


Here is an example code snippet using RSpec:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
require 'spec_helper'

describe 'Testing response code' do
  it 'returns a 200 status code' do
    visit 'http://example.com' # Replace with the URL you want to test

    expect(page.status_code).to eq(200)
  end
end


This code snippet navigates to a specific URL using visit method and then checks if the status code is equal to 200 using the expect method. You can modify the URL and the expected status code according to your testing requirements.


Make sure you have the necessary configurations set up for Capybara and Selenium to work together in your testing environment.
