codeception laravel seeResponseContainsJson don't match - laravel-4

Question

I've got frim the server this response :
)]}', {"success":0,"errors":{"error":["Invalid username or
password."]}}
and I'm not able to do work seeResponseContainsJson
I've tried with:
public function invalidUserShouldBe200AndJsonTest(AcceptanceTester $I)
{
$I->wantTo('To see a 200 status code and a json response');
$I->sendAjaxPostRequest('/api/v1/signin',array('email'=>'user#users.com','password'=>'user'));
$I->seeResponseCodeIs('200');
$I->seeResponseIsJson();
$I->seeResponseContainsJson(array('errors' => array('error' => array('Invalid username or password.'))));
}
but I've got
I see response contains json {"errors":{"error":["Invalid username or
password."]}}
and it's the same also if the response is
{"success":0,"errors":{"error":["Invalid username orpassword."]}}
mmm should be something wrong if I try
$I->seeResponseIsJson();
dd($I->grabResponse());
seeResponseIsJson give me a green bar but grabResponse get me "" :(
my test
use \AcceptanceTester;
class SessionControllerCest
{
public function _before(\AcceptanceTester $I)
{
$I->wantTo('Grab the XSRF-TOKEN cookie value');
$I->amOnPage('/');
$text = $I->grabTextFrom('body > div > script');
$chunks1 = explode("\n", trim($text));
$chunks2 = explode("=", trim($chunks1[1]));
$cookieValue = rtrim($chunks2[2], ';"');
$I->setCookie('XSRF-TOKEN',$cookieValue);
$I->setHeader('X-XSRF-TOKEN',$cookieValue);
}
public function _after()
{
}
// tests
public function invalidUserShouldBe200AndJsonTest(AcceptanceTester $I)
{
$I->wantTo('To see a 200 status code and a json response');
$I->sendAjaxPostRequest('/api/v1/signin',array('email'=>'user#user.com','password'=>'sentryuser'));
$I->seeCookie('XSRF-TOKEN');
$I->seeResponseCodeIs('200');
$I->seeResponseIsJson();// until here green bar
// dd($I->grabResponse()); // empty string
//$I->seeResponseContainsJson(array('success' => 0,'errors' => array('error' => array('Invalid username or password.'))));
$I->seeResponseContains(""); // red bar
}
}
I set like that in _before because of Cross Site Request Forgery (XSRF) Protection
it's like
Route::filter('xhr', function()
{
if(!Request::ajax()){
return Response::make('Not Found', 404);
}
});
Route::filter('xsrf', function()
{
if((!isset($_COOKIE['XSRF-TOKEN']) || is_null(Request::header('X-XSRF-TOKEN'))) || ($_COOKIE['XSRF-TOKEN'] !== Request::header('X-XSRF-TOKEN'))){
return Response::make('Not Found', 404);
}
});
the route
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'api/v1', 'before' => 'xhr|xsrf'), function() {
/* Session */
Route::post('signin', array('as' => 'session.store', 'uses' => 'App\Controllers\SessionController#store'));
});
DEBUG
There is something wrong if I comment the _before block
trying to send a cUrl request like:
curl -H 'X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest' -d "email=user#user.com" \
-d "password=mysentryuser" \
http://lama.io/api/v1/signin
I get
{"success":0,"errors":{"error":["Invalid username or password."]}}
but when I run this
// tests
public function invalidUserShouldBe200AndJsonTest(AcceptanceTester $I)
{
$I->wantTo('To see a 200 status code and a json response');
$I->sendAjaxPostRequest('/api/v1/signin',array('email'=>'user#user.com','password'=>'mysentryuser'));
// $I->seeCookie('XSRF-TOKEN');
$I->seeResponseCodeIs('200');
//$I->seeResponseIsJson();// until here green bar
//dd($I->grabResponse()); // empty string
$I->seeResponseContainsJson(array('success' => 0,'errors' => array('error' => array('Invalid username or password.'))));
//$I->seeResponseContains(""); // red bar
}
I got
I see response contains json {"success":0,"errors":{"error":["Invalid
username or password."]}}
so may be something wrong but WHAT !

You can rewrite the last line of your test as follows:
$I->seeResponseContainsJson(array('success' => 0, 'errors' => array('error' => array('Invalid username or password.'))));
since that is the JSON that your response contains.
