How to test the response code with Capybara + Selenium

I have the following spec:

it "deletes post", :js => true do 
...
...
page.status_code.should = '404'

end

The page.status_code line is giving me this error:

Capybara::NotSupportedByDriverError

How do I check the page's status code?

expect(page).to have_http_status(:ok)

is an acceptable variation to Ajay's answer, if you prefer the status symbol over the code value, for readability.

References:

For all available status codes / symbols:

Rack::Utils::SYMBOL_TO_STATUS_CODE
       # or 
Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS_CODES

Use js to make a request and get status as below:

js_script = <<JSS
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', '#{src}', true);
xhr.send();
JSS
actual.execute_script(js_script)
status = actual.evaluate_script('xhr.status') # get js variable value

Selenium web driver doest not implement status_code and there is no direct way to test response_code with selenium (developer's choice).

To test it I added in my layout/application.html.erb:

<html code="<%= response.try(:code) if defined?(response) %>">[...]</html>

And then in my test:

def no_error?
  response_code = page.first('html')[:code]
  assert (response_code == '200'), "Response code should be 200 : got #{response_code}"
end

As an aside. This line

page.status_code.should = '404'

Should be 

page.status_code.should == 404

This worked for me with capybara-webkit.

Either switch to another driver (like rack-test) for that test, or test that the displayed page is the 404 page (should have content 'Not Found' in h1).

As @eugen said, Selenium doesn't support status codes.

status_code is not currently supported by the Selenium driver. You will need to write a different test to check the response status code.
