What does “Expected response to be a , but was <200>” means?

Just what it says, presumably you have specified a test that expected a redirection but instead the response was the html response code 200 (OK).

You can look in log/test.log to get some more clues to what is happening.

Thanks Colin,

So can I response you like code 200? :slight_smile:

Sorry, I don't understand.

By the way, please don't top post, it makes it easier to follow the thread if you respond inline as I have done. Thanks.

I mean I’m pointing out this.

a redirection but instead the response was the html response code 200 (OK).

So do you mean code 200 stands for OK?

I find google is often useful for finding this sort of information.

If you're going to do web development, you're going to have to be familiar with the basics of HTTP, including status codes:

If you’re going to do web development, you’re going to have to be familiar with the basics of HTTP, including status codes: I thought this code is for ruby related one instead of it’s from http standards. But thanks that make sense.

Colin,

I’ve assuming this code is something about Ruby itself instead of it’s from http standards. But thanks it’s make sense anyway.

Thanks for additional.

Thanks for additional.

Here's a great site for these, and it includes the Rails "cheat codes" for each of them: http://httpstatus.es -- it even covers "I'm a teapot", which is apparently an RFC-blessed real code.

Yeah that’s useful. Thanks!
