Asserts that the HTTP status code of the most recent API response equals the given number. The expected code is any numeric status such as 200, 201, 204, 404, or 500. On mismatch the step fails with a message showing both the expected and the actual code.
A request must have been sent earlier in the scenario with one of the send-request steps; otherwise this step fails with No API response available. Because the request steps accept every status code without throwing, this assertion is the standard way to verify error responses (4xx and 5xx) as well as redirects (3xx).

Feature: Content endpoint availability
Scenario: The published articles endpoint responds correctly
Given the API base URL is "https://api.example.org"
And I set header "Accept" to "application/json"
When I send a GET request to "/articles?status=published"
Then the API response code should be 200
And the API response should contain "articles"
When I send a GET request to "/articles/does-not-exist"
Then the API response code should be 404
