assert_response

assert_response(type, message = nil)
public

Asserts that the response is one of the following types:

  • `:success` - Status code was in the 200-299 range

  • `: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.
