Test to check if any content is there with RSpec

Question

So you can have a test like this:

find(".blah").should have_content("blah blah")

But is there a way to just check if something is in blah?

find(".blah").should have_some_content

Answer 1

I do not believe there is a Capybara::RSpecMatchers for what you want. However, you could use the underlying Capybara::Node::Matchers.

Try:

find(".blah").has_no_text?.should be_true

If you really want to use the Capybara::RSpecMatchers, you could use have_content with a regex that looks for any non-whitespace character.

find(".blah").should have_content(/[^\s]/)
