Rspec/Capybara features tests not running, even with _spec.rb ending

Your spec is getting run, but because it is malformed, there are no examples in it. If you were to format it properly (e.g. in terms of indentation), it would be more clear, but your background blocks include both of the associated scenarios. You need to delete the last two...

RSpec/Capybara testing have_selector conundrum

ruby-on-rails,rspec,tdd,capybara,bdd

Try: expect(page).to have_selector('title', :text => "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App | Home", :visible => false) Since the title tag is in <head> element, it is considered hidden. Specifying :visible => false includes those tags for consideration in the have_selector matcher....

Fill in Editor textarea using capybara-webkit

editor,capybara,capybara-webkit

So, this isn't the answer that I was expecting, and I'm not sure if this is the best way of doing it, but I found something that works. Some research revealed that I'm able to populate the content of the Editor using javascript, specifically editor.codemirror.setValue();. So I ensured the editor...

Can I configure rspec + capybara to not blow away by DB each time?

ruby-on-rails,ruby,devise,capybara

Did not need database_cleaner gem. Turns out I was running rake spec which was truncating my DB each time. Instead if I run rspec spec the DB is NOT truncated.

getting past authentication with capybara in rails application

Found an answer. I installed the warden gem to (gem 'warden') and factory girl gem (gem "factory_girl_rails", "~> 4.0") and ran a bundle install. I then created a user fixture with factory girl as follows in a factory.rb file in the spec folder: # This is a user factory, to...

Cucumber not using a route in test mode that I can use in development mode

routes,cucumber,capybara,padrino

Capybara deliberately uses example.com if you don't set app_host, and since I redirect if the domain is incorrect, that's unacceptable so I have to set app host in my features/support/env.rb file like so: Capybara.app_host = 'http://arewesmallyet.dev'...

Capybara testing with jQuery, Bootstrap, and jQuery-ui from CDN

jquery,ruby-on-rails,rspec,capybara,bootstrap

You can simply check which environment Rails is running: if Rails.env.production? javascript_include_tag "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" else javascript_include_tag "/scripts/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.js" end There is most likly a plethora of gems for this though. Added: A nice eat the cake and keep it approach if you still want to use gems (like jquery-rails) and the sprockets...

Capybara/Selenium Webdriver + DataTables not playing nicely

ruby-on-rails,rspec,selenium-webdriver,capybara

After some more debugging, I realized that there was a subtle (didn't show in the logs, since server logs weren't being printed in my test environment) 414 error happening. Capybara apparently prevents long GET requests (though major browsers now support them), so I posted an issue here: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/1467 I'd rather...

Why is rspec example with AJAX not working correctly?

ruby,ajax,ruby-on-rails-4,rspec,capybara

After posting on the capybara forums, I have found out that some selectors have wait for async calls to finish and some don't. All I had to do to get this spec to pass was to update the expectation to the below expect(page).to have_css('.follow-up', count: 30) Some useful resources I...

Capybara won't fill in form fields (although it finds them)

ruby-on-rails,testing,rspec,capybara

I've managed to fix it. It was caused by Strong Params and Devise. I've set Devise to work with name and username parameters and they were not being authorized, even when explicitly cleared in controller. Here is what I did: Generated Devise Controllers: $ rails g devise:controllers Added the new...

Capybara can't find user for delete action

This should work if you only have one delete button on the page: it "is successful when clicking the destroy link" do visit "/users" click_link "Destroy" expect(page).to have_content("User was successfully destroyed.") Edit: I'm going to assume you are not very familiar with CSS selectors. With Capybara, when you say: #user_#{user.id}...

How to map browser dialog using capybara/selenium

ruby,selenium,capybara

Where possible, you should try to avoid using the underlying driver directly. By using Capybara's API, you would be (in theory) in a better position if you want to change driver's and there are driver API differences. From Capyabara's project page, the way to handle modal dialogs is: In drivers...

How to set text into Summernote textarea with Capybara + Poltergeist

rspec,capybara,poltergeist,summernote

Capybaras fill_in only works with html form elements. Since the JS version of your page is using a DIV with the contenteditable attribute as its text area to be filled #fill_in will not work. Instead you need to find the div and call #set on it directly. In your project...

Is element visible?

ruby,capybara

By default capybara won't find non-displayed elements - if you really want find to return both visible and non-displayed elements you can do find(:xpath, "//td[text()='#{subtab}']", visible: :all) a better solution would be to do if page.has_no_xpath?("//td[text()='#{subtab}']") # if the subtab is not visible click the tab find(:xpath, "//td[text()='#{tab}']").click end find(:xpath,...

Run block once before all capybara tests

I think you are overengineering the task. Since you are to run it once, just run it: cb = lambda { puts 'I am run once' } RSpec.configure do |config| cb.call end ...

Undefined method 'delegate' for capybara::dsl::module

ruby,selenium,capybara

In standard ruby delegation is handled by the module Forwadable. You need to require and then extend forwardable to access these methods like so: require 'forwardable' module Capybara::DSL extend Forwardable #notice syntax is accessor, *methods def_delegators :page, :datepick, :datetimepick, :timepick end The type of delegation you are trying to use...

I'm getting ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches [GET] “/items” even though Routes look correct

Maybe try: resources :items, only: [:new, :create, :show, :index] If you run rake routes at the command line, it should show you the routes available for your app (and help explain the above). Also, in case you haven't already read it: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html...

Getting “Couldn't find Item without an ID” when trying to render to a view.

ruby-on-rails,ruby,cucumber,capybara,capybara-webkit

looks like a validation error as you have validate :list, presence: true in your model and you didn't specify list in view. Can you recheck?

Getting Capybara::DriverNotFoundError when trying to run Cucumber tests

You mentioned that you edited many files. Could it be that you didn't revert all the changes you made? I think Capybara would pick the 'rack_test' driver by default, and your system could not find the 'rack' driver. Since you're doing Cucumber testing, you must have a file called 'env.rb'...

Can rspec be used to feature test an integrated rails-angular app?

ruby-on-rails,angularjs,rspec,capybara

My guess is that your create(:fighter) call is running in a different thread (and database transaction) than the AJAX get request. Try adding this snippet to your rails_helper. class ActiveRecord::Base mattr_accessor :shared_connection @@shared_connection = nil def self.connection @@shared_connection || retrieve_connection end end ActiveRecord::Base.shared_connection = ActiveRecord::Base.connection Source: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara#transactions-and-database-setup...

How can I test Stripe.js using poltergeist and Capybara?

ruby-on-rails,testing,capybara,stripe-payments,poltergeist

If I understand correctly... Capybara won't know about your ajax requests. You should be able to stub out AJAX requests with Sinatra. Have it return a fixtures much the same as VCR. Here's an article on it. https://robots.thoughtbot.com/using-capybara-to-test-javascript-that-makes-http You need to boot the Sinatra app in Capybara and then match...

test multiple object update form with rspec

ruby-on-rails,rspec,capybara,automated-tests

you need to pass company_calender_id in params in specs, because you are passing it through hidden field and using it to find record in first line of update_by_day action. Try below one: put :update_by_day, {:day => company_calendar.day, company_id: @company.to_param, :company_calendar => { time_from: "2014-09-25 08:00:00", time_to: "2014-09-25 12:00:00" },:company_calendars_ids =>...

gem Warden, why do I need scope: in login_as helper?

ruby-on-rails,ruby,devise,capybara,warden

1. As you can see here, login_as calls set_user with the same set of options. Here's the source code of set_user (click "View source"). On line 165, you'll see that if the :scope option is empty, the default scope will be used. In your Rails application, open config/initializers/devise.rb, you'll find...

Step definitions for cucumber data tables for storing correct answers

ruby,ruby-on-rails-4,rspec,capybara,capybara-webkit

I think the rows_hash method will help you. def question_correct?(cucumber_table, question, answer) hash = cucumber_table.rows_hash return false if hash[question].nil? return hash[question] == answer end The code works by converting a two column data table into a hash, where the first column is the key and the second is the value....

Why is spec failing?

It could be a couple of things The most obvious is that you could be having async problems because you're using Capybara. The Capybara/test thread tells the browser to click the button and then continues on. It doesn't wait for anything else to happen, so the browser could still be...

How do I match link text that is wrapped in an html tag using xpath?

html,xpath,capybara

I think what you are looking for is the string value of an element. The string value of an element node is just the concatenation of all its descendant text nodes. Using the expression string(//a) on almost (to avoid any unrelated problem with single or double quotes in the text...

What causes “— []” in rspec output?

ruby-on-rails,ruby-on-rails-4,rspec,capybara

ruby-on-rails,rspec,tdd,capybara

You could test with Capybara, so long as you use a driver that supports javascript, such as Selenium or Poltergeist - see https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara#drivers However, although I'm not an AngularJS user, I do know that it's designed to be testable, and I imagine you'd be much better off using a tool...

Rspec/Capybara: Login page is being rendered again

In the "Display the todos list" block you are not logging in: you need to either have a similar before(:each) as in the "User login" block or move the entire "display todos" block inside the "User login" block.

cucumber capybara testing date picker selects wrong day

ruby,date,datepicker,cucumber,capybara

Ideally, don't select by text if you can avoid it. But in this case try using a regex instead of just plain text. find('.day', :text => Regexp.new("^#{day.day}$"), match: :prefer_exact).click There's a little related reading at the end of this (currently unimplemented) issue: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/1256...

Upgrade to Rails 4.2 breaks rspec feature specs - why?

ruby,selenium,rspec,capybara,browserstack

UPDATE: possible problems related to capybara/rspec: Avoid creating models in feature specs, because they're created in a different thread. Instead, create the user using capybara steps (i.e. "sign up" the user every time). If you really need the database prepared for scenario in a way impossible to create from clicking...

Logging for rspec selenium/capybara tests running in Browserstack

The bits of advice I can give you is: 1:. Each test should be a single use case scenario. If it fails you know why 2:. If you need to perform many steps to achieve a use case scenario then you should be abstracting your elements into classes that represent...

Capybara/RSpec - Checking the content of an array

ruby-on-rails,testing,rspec,capybara,rspec-rails

I think this should work: # capture an array of the three stats: impressions/clicks/AVT stats = page.all('.sub').map(&:text) expect(stats).to contain_exactly("Impressions", "Clicks", "Average") Update Starting with Rspec 3, you could do the following, if you're looking for partial matching: expect(stats).to contain_exactly( a_string_matching(/Impressions/), a_string_matching(/Clicks/), a_string_matching(/Average/) ) ...

Query after POST returns Nil unless following expect(page)

The server is running in a separate thread. Since click on 'Save' doesn't wait for a response, when you immediately check the database, the server hasn't had a chance to do its work. When you wait for text to appear, you know the server update has completed.

How do I use the latest Webkit version for Capybara specs using PhantomJS?

Phantom 1.9 (and earlier) uses a version of webkit that is a few years old (roughly equivalent to Chrome 13), whereas the just-released Phantom 2.0 uses a webkit that was released in mid 2014 IIRC. There is quite a large difference between the amount of supported HTML5 features in them,...
