How to detect if text is present on the page?

[Jason]

I have recently switch from Selenium RC / Python (snapshot from over a
year ago) to Selenium2 / Ruby.

I am having the same trouble as this guy

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7667001/how-do-you-check-the-page-for-text-using-selenium-2-and-firefox

is_text_present fails.

Suggestions / code samples?

[Jason]

When I create a test case in the Selenium IDE that checks for text and export it to a Ruby/WebDriver script I get

# ERROR: Caught exception [ERROR: Unsupported command [isTextPresent]]

Here is a sample script

require 'rubygems'

require 'selenium-webdriver'

server = "http://www.google.com"

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox

driver.get server

# make sure 'About Google' appears on the page

assert driver.is_text_present "About Google"

Which fails with 

test.rb:12:in `<main>': undefined method `is_text_present' for #<Selenium::WebDriver::Driver:0x..f9c83b53a browser=:firefox> (NoMethodError)

Selenium::Client::Extensions has 'wait_for_text' -- is there an easy way to get to that from Selenium::WebDriver ?

Instead of
assert driver.is_text_present "About Google"

Try this:

driver.find_element(:id=>"footer").text.include? 'About Google'

Check this blog for wait.until code examples.
