assertHtml()source public

assertHtml( array $expected , string $string , boolean $fullDebug = false )

Asserts HTML tags.

Takes an array $expected and generates a regex from it to match the provided $string. Samples for $expected:

Checks for an input tag with a name attribute (contains any non-empty value) and an id attribute that contains 'my-input':

['input' => ['name', 'id' => 'my-input']]

Checks for two p elements with some text in them:

[
  ['p' => true],
  'textA',
  '/p',
  ['p' => true],
  'textB',
  '/p'
]

You can also specify a pattern expression as part of the attribute values, or the tag being defined, if you prepend the value with preg: and enclose it with slashes, like so:

[
  ['input' => ['name', 'id' => 'preg:/FieldName\d+/']],
  'preg:/My\s+field/'
]

Important: This function is very forgiving about whitespace and also accepts any permutation of attribute order. It will also allow whitespace between specified tags.
