Rspec testing for html entities in page content

Question

I\'m writing a request spec and would like to test for the presence of the string \"Reports » Aging Reports\". I get an error (invalid multibyte char) if I put in the character

Answer 1

I found a workaround for the time being that uses a regex instead of a string:

find('#breadcrumbs').text.should match(/Reports . Aging Reports/)

This gets the text of the breadcrumbs div, which contains the text I'm looking for, so the scope of the match is limited. This works fine, but I'd still love to know how to match specific html entities.
