I can't seem to get pages loaded under capybara. The application is namespaced under localhost:3000/secure, but I think that all the settings for there are in place. I see capybara hitting the server log, it seems like it loads the page normally and returns with status 200. However when i try to look at the page the output is always the same, empty html page.
It used to show me the server errors (500 and 404). But once i fixed those in the controller, nothing happens
rspec:
it 'should update the record normally for married status' do
visit edit_members_bene_partner_path
save_and_open_page
end
Output of the html is:
<html><head></head><body></body></html>

I am following the rails api book but building the code in an engine. The test is at spec/controllers/concerns/handicap/authenticable_spec.rb and looks like this
require 'spec_helper'
require_relative '../../../../app/controllers/concerns/handicap/authenticable.rb'
class Authentication
include Handicap::Authenticable
end
module Handicap
describe Authenticable, type: :controlller do
let(:authentication) { Authentication.new }
subject { authentication }
describe "#current_user" do
before do
#user = FactoryGirl.create :handicap_user
request.headers["Authorization"] = #user.auth_token
authentication.stub(:request).and_return(request)
end
it "returns the user from the authorization header" do
expect(authentication.current_user.auth_token).to eql #user.auth_token
end
end
end
end
When I run the test directly i.e. rspec ./spec/controllers/concerns/handicap/authenticable_spec.rb I get an error:
uninitialized constant Handicap::FactoryGirl
However, when I run all the tests i.e. rspec spec, it does find the FactoryGirl constant and the test fails with
undefined local variable or method `request' for #<RSpec::ExampleGroups::HandicapAuthenticable::CurrentUser:0x007ff276ad5988>.
According to this github issue, I need to add < ActionController::Base to the Authentication class i.e.
class Authentication < ActionController::Base
but if I add this in, I get
uninitialized constant ActionController
I have also tried adding < Handicap::ApplicationController but get
uninitialized constant Handicap::ApplicationController
There appears to be something wrong with my namespacing. There are three symptoms, the fact that FactoryGirl cannot be found if I run the test by itself, but is found when all the tests are run. The second is that it cannot find ActionController even when all the tests are run. The third is that I need to add the line:
require_relative '../../../../app/controllers/concerns/handicap/authenticable.rb'
to find the module that is being tested.
How do I fix my namespacing?

You should not be putting specs into modules. This is the cause of problem here. If you need to reference a namespaced class, reference it like RSpec.describe Handicap::Authenticatable.
In general, when you are within a namespace and need to reference something explicitly from the 'root' scope, you can prepend it with double-colons. Such as:
module Handicap
class Something
def do_stuff
::FactoryGirl.create(:person)
end
end
end
It turns out that at the top of my file I should have had require 'rails_helper', not require 'spec_helper'``. All my other files hadrequire 'rails_helper'`` so when I ran the whole test suite, the rails_helper was being loaded anyway.
Embarrassing, but this Q&A might help someone else that has trouble spotting simple errors.
So I've been struggling with this for quite some time now and I can't seem to figure our what's going wrong, and couldn't find much on what could possibly cause this issue.
I'm relatively new to Ruby and Rails, as well as test/behavior driven development and am trying to write some acceptance (browser) tests using PhantomJS through Poltergeist, using Rspec and Capybara. I believe some people also call this integration tests (they may be from some perspective), but that's a whole other discussion.
I have a really simple feature that I can't get to do what I want:
require 'feature_helper'
feature 'Logging in', :js => true do
scenario 'with incorrect credentials' do
visit '/login'
puts page.html
save_and_open_page
page.driver.render('_screenshot.png', :full => true)
page.html.should have_selector("title", :text => "hi")
end
end
So. Simple, right. It should just go to /login and throw the HTML content at me, as well I want to see the page using save_and_open_page, and I want it to take a screenshot. I added a simple should have_selector in order to have the test fail in an attempt to get more feedback.
The relative contents of my feature_helper.rb:
require 'spec_helper'
require 'capybara/rspec'
require 'capybara/rails'
require 'capybara/poltergeist'
include Capybara::DSL
Capybara.register_driver :poltergeist do |app|
Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver.new(app, {
:debug => true,
:inspector => true
})
end
Capybara.default_driver = :poltergeist
Capybara.javascript_driver = :poltergeist
FakeWeb.allow_net_connect = %r[^https?://(127.0.0.1|localhost)] # allow phantomjs/poltergeist requests
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.before :each do
# Set the hostname to something with test
#host = "test.iome:3003"
host! #host
Capybara.default_host = Capybara.app_host = "http://#{#host}/"
Capybara.server_port = 3003
Capybara.reset_sessions!
# Start the database cleaner
config.use_transactional_fixtures = false
DatabaseCleaner.start
end
config.after :each do
DatabaseCleaner.clean
end
end
And also my spec_helper.rb:
# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'pry'
require 'fakeweb'
FakeWeb.allow_net_connect = false
It's all fairly simple.
Now, in my console I see the following:
{"name"=>"visit", "args"=>["http://test.iome:3003//login"]}
{"response"=>{"status"=>"fail"}}
{"name"=>"body", "args"=>[]}
{"response"=>"<html><head></head><body></body></html>"}
<html><head></head><body></body></html>
{"name"=>"body", "args"=>[]}
{"response"=>"<html><head></head><body></body></html>"}
{"name"=>"render", "args"=>["_screenshot.png", true]}
{"response"=>true}
{"name"=>"body", "args"=>[]}
{"response"=>"<html><head></head><body></body></html>"}
Also, the screenshot is just a white and empty page. When I tail my log/test.log file, I don't see that a request is being performed. I've tried changing the method visit to get, and that'll make the request, but won't change any of the results.
I've completely run out of ideas of what this could be and it's rather frustrating :(
Final information then about versions:
rspec 2.10.0
capybara 1.1.4
poltergeist 1.0.3
ruby 1.8.7
rails 3.2.13
Unfortunately we're still at ruby 1.8.7, but are working on bumping that version up. Still, I think this shouldn't influence the tests.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So eventually I got help from a colleague, and we managed to fix it. We used the lvh.me domain for this, as any request to that domain will resolve in localhost, allowing you to use subdomains without a problem. You could probably also use hostname.127.0.0.1.xip.io for this.
Our spec_helper.rb now looks like this:
# Use capybara in combination with poltergeist for integration tests
require 'capybara/rails'
require 'capybara/rspec'
require 'capybara/poltergeist'
require 'rack_session_access/capybara'
Capybara.default_driver = :poltergeist
Capybara.always_include_port = true
Capybara.app_host = 'http://application-test.lvh.me' # Any lvh.me domain resolves to localhost
Capybara.default_wait_time = 8 # How long capybara should look for html elements
require 'vcr'
VCR.configure do |config|
config.cassette_library_dir = 'spec/vcr_cassettes'
config.hook_into :fakeweb
config.ignore_localhost = true
config.configure_rspec_metadata!
config.ignore_hosts 'codeclimate.com'
end
require 'fakeweb'
FakeWeb.allow_net_connect = false
Because we hooked in VCR to record any requests going out during the first run of the integration tests, all your integration tests, or features, should contain this code:
before(:all) do
FakeWeb.allow_net_connect = true
end
after(:all) do
FakeWeb.allow_net_connect = false
end
If you want to change the subdomain during your specs, you can use the following:
before(:each) do
#original_host = Capybara.app_host
Capybara.app_host = 'http://does-not-exist.lvh.me'
visit '/login'
end
after(:each) do
Capybara.app_host = #original_host
end
Making screenshots can now be done using page.save_screenshot during specs. Hope this helps.
It's weird issue, zeus start running smoothly.

end
I have shared contexts in spec/support/shared_contexts.rb (which is normally included). rspec spec/ passed all tests, then zeus rspec spec/ passed all tests and throws inclusion errors like this
`find_and_eval_shared': Could not find shared context "with signed user" (ArgumentError)
It tries to pass zeus rspec spec/models and then throws 'factory_girl' inclusion errors while rspec spec/models do it's job fine.
It appears to look like this issue https://github.com/burke/zeus/issues/175
I found this behavior was cause by
require 'rspec/autotest'
in spec_helper.rb
this is my first questions online EVER, so please comment and I'll try to update my questions to clarify.
I am quite new to web development, and is currently working on a test suite for a company project. It was working nicely up to the point when I'm trying to do an integration test on a function, which involves javascript. I tried using both webkit(bundled from git) and selenium. Webkit gave the following error message.
Wrote response false "Unable to load URL: http://127.0.0.1:56618/ because of error loading http://127.0.0.1:56618/: Connection closed"
Cleaning database...done
Received "Reset"
Started "Reset"
Finished "Reset"
Wrote response true ""
should see invalid message (FAILED - 1)
Failures:
1) Users GET /sign_in with invalid account should see invalid message
Failure/Error: visit root_path
Capybara::Webkit::InvalidResponseError:
Unable to load URL: http://127.0.0.1:56618/ because of error loading http://127.0.0.1:56618/: Connection closed
And when using Selenium, the FireFox complain about:
Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
Does anybody have some clue as to what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Add below code in your spec_helper.rb file

require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)

Do one thing uncomment database cleaner.
For a while I was using Selenium / Spork / Rspec, with cache_classes on false, and everything seemed to be working.
In switching over to webkit, I've started to get errors related to cache_classes (e.g. Expected User, got User), so I've been fighting with it to try to get cache_classes set to true.
However no matter what I do, I end up with the following error:
Capybara::Driver::Webkit::WebkitInvalidResponseError:
Unable to load URL: http://127.0.0.1:56398/login
I have tried all kinds of things... including:
ActiveSupport::Dependencies.clear in both the prefork and each _run blocks
The code here: http://my.rails-royce.org/2012/01/14/reloading-models-in-rails-3-1-when-usign-spork-and-cache_classes-true/

You are having issues due to threading problems with Capybara-webkit and the test suite.
Jose Valim explains it much more clearly in a recent blog post.
If you follow his recommendations then you should be able to turn on transactional fixtures, remove database cleaner altogether and no longer have issues with your data during tests while using capybara-webkit. You'll get a nice boost in testing performance as well.
The trick though is to make sure that Jose's suggestion is in the Spork.each_run block or it will not work. For clarity here are the relevant parts of my spec_helper.rb.
require 'spork'
Spork.prefork do
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'capybara/rspec'
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.mock_with :rspec
config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
Capybara.default_driver = :rack_test
Capybara.default_selector = :css
Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit
end
end
Spork.each_run do
if Spork.using_spork?
ActiveRecord::Base.instantiate_observers
end
require 'factory_girl_rails'
# Forces all threads to share the same connection, works on Capybara because it starts the web server in a thread.
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
end
A few other small suggestions:
If you are using the latest version of factory_girl_rails then you
should be using require factory_girl_rails in the Spork.each_run
block and require factory_girl should be removed from the prefork
The latest factory_girl_rails also no longer requires ActiveSupport::Dependencies.clear at all, although some people are still having issues without it so you should test removing it.
I'm still not sure about the need for ActiveRecord::Base.instantiate_observers but in any case you would only need it if you are using observers and I understand that it should be in the each_run block.
Try all that and see if it works for you.
