seeResponseContains

seeResponseContainsJson

Checks whether the last JSON response contains provided array. The response is converted to array with json_decode($response, true) Thus, JSON is represented by associative array. This method matches that response array contains provided array.

Examples:

{% highlight php %}

seeResponseContainsJson(array('name' => 'john')); // response {user: john, profile: { email: john * `gmail.com` }} $I->seeResponseContainsJson(array('email' => 'john * `gmail.com'));` ?>

{% endhighlight %}

This method recursively checks if one array can be found inside of another.

  • param array $json

seeResponseEquals

Checks if response is exactly the same as provided.

  • param $response

seeResponseIsJson

Checks whether last response was valid JSON. This is done with json_last_error function.

seeResponseIsXml

Checks whether last response was valid XML. This is done with libxml_get_last_error function.
