check http status code using nightwatch

Question

how do I check the HTTP status code using nightwatch.js? I tried

  browser.url(function (response) {
     browser.assert.equal(response.statusCode, 200);
  });

Actually there is no way yet to get the response status of the page using Selenium (https://github.com/seleniumhq/selenium-google-code-issue-archive/issues/141)

But what you can easily do is require "request" library, make your request to the webpage you want to open in your Selenium tests and validate that response status code equals 200:

const request = require('request');

request('http://stackoverflow.com', (error, response, body) => {
    browser.assert.equal(response.statusCode, 200);
});
