Capybara: How to test the title of a page?

Question

In a Rails 3 application using Steak, Capybara and RSpec how do I test the page's title?

Answer 1

Since the version 2.1.0 of capybara there are methods on the session to deal with the title. You have

page.title page.has_title? "my title" page.has_no_title? "my not found title" 

So you can test the title like:

expect(page).to have_title "my_title" 

According to github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/863 the following is also working with capybara 2.0:

expect(first('title').native.text).to eq "my title"
