assert_response(type, message = nil) — ActionController::Assertions::ResponseAssertions

assert_response(type, message = nil)

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 ActionController::StatusCodes 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

Parameters

type req
message opt = nil
