In Rspec, these also map to matchers like page.should have_content.

Selectors

expect(page).to have_button('Save')
expect(page).to have_button('#submit')
expect(page).to have_button('//[@id="submit"]')

The selector arguments can be text, CSS selector, or XPath expression.

RSpec assertions

page.has_button?('Save')
expect(page).to have_no_button('Save')

In RSpec, you can use page.should assertions.

About negatives

expect(page).to have_no_button('Save')
expect(page).not_to have_button('Save')

The two above statements are functionally equivalent.
