have_text is not supported in rspec-2.
For JSON, I like to deserialize the output and match against the decoded JSON:
json = ActiveSupport::JSON::decode(response.body)
json.should eq(%w[enim enita])
Then you could wrap that in a matcher:
RSpec::Matchers.define :be_json do |expected_json|
match do |response|
json = ActiveSupport::JSON::decode(response.body)
json.should == expected_json
end
end
response.should be_json(%w[enim enita])
