Cucumber/Capybara: check that a page does NOT have content?

There is a has_no_content matcher in Capybara. So you can write

  Then /^I should not see "(.*?)"$/ do |arg1|    page.should have_no_content(arg1)  end

ruby-on-rails cucumber capybara

In Rspec 3.4 currently (2016) this is the recommended way to test for not having content:

expect(page).not_to have_content(arg1)

ruby-on-rails cucumber capybara

You can also use should_not if you want it read a little better:

Then /^I should not see "(.*?)"$/ do |arg1|  page.should_not have_content(arg1)end
