Module: Capybara::Node::Matchers

Asserts that a given selector is not on the page or current node. Usage is identical to Capybara::Node::Matchers#assert_selector

@param (see Capybara::Node::Finders#assert_selector) @raise [Capybara::ExpectationNotMet] If the selector exists

assert_selector(*args)

Asserts that a given selector is on the page or current node.

    page.assert_selector('p#foo')
