Rspec/Capybara Can't Find Submit Button for Form - ruby-on-rails

I'm trying to write a test that creates and object and then saves it. I want to make sure that the object is created and present on the redirected page after submission. But, I can't seem to click on the "Save" button.
relevant test:
describe 'Create a new contact list', :type => :feature do
it 'Creates a contact list with a name' do
visit new_contact_list_url
expect(page).to have_content("New Contact List")
fill_in "contact_list_name", with: "Group 1"
find('#save').click
expect(page).to have_content("Group 1")
end
end
Error I'm getting:
1) Create a new contact list Creates a contact list with a name
Failure/Error: find('#save').click
NoMethodError:

How would I log in a user using rspec? Since my login helper methods
are in app/helpers/sessions_helper.rb
Just write some function where you're signing in via Capybara, i.e.
visit '/auth'
fill_in :login, with: 'John'
fill_in :password, with: '123'
click 'Login'
and then use it in your tests, for example, in before { } block.
If you have a lot of tests and this approach is too slow, take a look at Warden::Test::Helpers.
Also, take a look at this answer: Using Devise in rspec feature tests.

Instead of find("#save").click, have you tried using click('Save')?
If you have, were you unsuccessful? Answering why that is might help you here.

Rails wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0)

I'm running into an error that says:
ActionView::Template::Error:
wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0)
Here's the relevant code in the model:
class LocationProgram < ApplicationRecord
include CtasMixin
belongs_to :location, inverse_of: :location_programs
belongs_to :program, inverse_of: :location_programs
belongs_to :thumbnail, class_name: 'ImageAsset', foreign_key: :thumbnail_asset_id
has_many :content_images, -> { order('sequence ASC NULLS LAST') }, as: :contentable, dependent: :destroy
has_cta :ecommerce_cta, "buy-tickets"
%w(content_images thumbnail ecommerce_cta).each do |attr|
# this code below raises the error
# line below is location_program.rb:50
define_method(attr) { program&.send(attr) || super(attr) }
end
...
end
class Program < ApplicationRecord
include CtasMixin
has_many :location_programs, dependent: :destroy, inverse_of: :program
has_many :locations, through: :location_programs
belongs_to :thumbnail, class_name: 'ImageAsset', foreign_key: :thumbnail_asset_id
has_many :content_images, -> { order('sequence ASC NULLS LAST') }, as: :contentable, dependent: :destroy
has_cta :ecommerce_cta, "buy-tickets"
...
end
module CtasMixin
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
module ClassMethods
def has_cta(attr_name, default_slug = '')
belongs_to attr_name, class_name: 'CallToAction'
define_method "#{attr_name}_default_object" do
CallToAction.find_by(slug: default_slug) if default_slug.present?
end
define_method "#{attr_name}_value" do
# Line below is line 35
send(attr_name).try(:value_t) || send("#{attr_name}_default_value")
end
define_method "#{attr_name}_default_value" do
if default_slug.present?
cta = send("#{attr_name}_default_object")
cta ? cta.value_t : default_slug.titleize
end
end
end
end
end
I recently upgraded my rails version from 5.0 to 5.2 and this happened when I tried to run rspec.
I'm not too sure what's going on here, I suspect it has something to do with my CtasMixin concern. I've tried to search around but I wasn't able to figure out anything that's related to my issue here.

How to call predicate method in controller of rails 4?

I am new to rails and am trying to get the following bit of rspec to pass that will enable calling a path to flag a course as hidden:
describe 'PATCH hide_course' do
before :each do
#course = create(:course)
end
it 'marks the course as hidden' do
patch :hide_course, id: #course
expect(#course.reload.hidden?).to be_true
end
it 'redirects to courses#index' do
patch :hide_course, id: #course
expect(response).to redirect_to course_url
end
end
I then set the following route with no problems:
resources :courses
put '/courses/:id/hide_course', to: 'courses#hide_course'
My problem is in setting the controller action. Here is the bit I wrote in my CoursesController:
def hide_course
#course = Course.find(params[:id])
#course.hide
end
private
def course_params
params.require(:course).permit(:name,:description,:department,:hidden,
:lecture_attributes => [:name,:description,:level])
end
My model then looks like this:
def hide
update!(:hidden => true)
end
What is the best way for me to set up this method in rails 4? I keep getting errors about the hidden attribute not existing even though it is in my schema. Thanks!
PS- The backtrace I get for the first spec is this:
1) CoursesController PATCH hide_course marks the course as hidden
Failure/Error: patch :hide_course, id: #course
ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError:
unknown attribute: hidden

Rails Mailer TypeError on #deliver

I'm trying to debug this mailer error in 4.1.1 and can't figure out how to get more information on what to look into:
TypeError (no implicit conversion of nil into String):
app/controllers/api/v1/contact_form_controller.rb:5:in `create'
Here's the controller, line 5 in the error is the second line here:
def create
#mail = ContactFormMailer.contact_email(contact_params).deliver
# ContactFormSender.perform_async(contact_params)
render nothing: true, status: 200
end
My mailer looks like this:
class ContactFormMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default from: ENV["CONTACT_EMAIL"]
def contact_email(args)
#from = args[:from]
#body = args[:body]
#title = args[:title]
mail(to: ENV["CONTACT_EMAIL"], subject: 'Contact form')
end
end
The error only throws when I call deliver, which leads me to believe that it's a mailer.config issue, but everything I've looked into for gmail seems correct:
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => ENV["DOMAIN"] }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings =
{
address: ENV["SMTP_SERVER"],
port: 587,
domain: ENV["MAILER_DOMAIN"],
authentication: "plain",
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: ENV["SMTP_USER"],
password: ENV["SMTP_PWD"]
}
I doubled checked all of my ENV variables and tried putting begin rescue end around my controller action to get more information on the error, but it just says it's a type error. Is there anyway I can get more information from a logger or something? The error makes me think it's a config setting or something that isn't being passed through, but I have no idea where to keep looking.
Edit: Here's the rest of the error:

Your SMTP_SERVER env variable is nil.
I can consistently reproduce this error with:
2.1.2 :004 > TCPSocket.open nil, 40
TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String
from (irb):4:in `initialize'
from (irb):4:in `open'
from (irb):4
from /Users/mauricio/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.2/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
You can see the actual line where it breaks here.
You should force your code to validate there's a value for all the env variables you need right at the config file instead of assuming there are values for them.

Why does before_action :authorize fail with 'wrong number of arguments'?

I have set up Pundit together with Devise for authorization on my application. In one of my controllers, I have before_action :authorize.
I then have the following test:
describe SomeController do
before(:each) do
login_user(FactoryGirl.create(:user, :user_type => :admin))
end
describe "GET index" do
it "it retrieves the index" do
something = FactoryGirl.create(:Something)
get :index
assigns(:something).should eq([something])
end
end
end
I receive the error:
wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
The login helper is fairly straight forward:
module ControllerMacros
def login_user(user)
if user.nil?
user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
end
#request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
sign_in user
end
end
Update:
Stacktrace:
Failure/Error: get :index
ArgumentError:
wrong number of arguments (0 for 1..2)

Pundit's authorize method is not intended to be called as a before_action. before_action calls a method with no arguments, and authorize takes a model object and an optional permission name. That's why you're getting the error you are.
You're not showing enough of the relevant code for me to see what you should do next, but I suggest getting Pundit to work in your controller action before pulling it out into a callback.
There is an example of the correct use of authorize here: https://github.com/elabs/pundit
You can define a private helper method in your controller(or in the application_controller if you will use it in all the controllers) which calls authorize current_user, and then call the private method before_action. Like this:
private
def perform_authorization
authorize current_user
end
and then call it as a before_action :
before_action :perform_authorization

ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method `config' for #<Rails::App>

I wrote a full rails engine, and trying to test (with RSpec) my controller.
Error only occurred, when render method called. On return or redirect methods all works fine. And problem only with tests. I use dummy app.
stack:
# Failure/Error: get(:search, params)

In which direction i should dig?
engine on GitHub
UPD:
when in controller call render - I got error.
but if in controller call render :text => 'foo' - test passes.
problem somewhere in dummy application config. but i can't locate it.
UPD2:
falling spec:
context 'action should return #options and #results' do
it '#options should be an instance variable, which eq hash of three keys' do
get(:search, params)
# do something
end
end
controller:
def search
# do something
render
end
RESOLUTION:
It was my fault. Problem was in overloading some internal rails classes in test environment. Sorry for spent time, #sameera207, and thank you for participation.
the difference between render and redirect is, redirect loads your redirected action but render doesn't,
Ex:
def new
#user = User.new
end
def create
if <some conditions>
redirect_to 'new'
else
render 'new'
end
end
so when you call render, it doesnt create User.new, only redirect will. So probably you are rendering an action which loads something from config.
So the solutions would be
def new
#user = User.new
end
def create
if <some conditions>
redirect_to 'new'
else
#user = User.new
render 'new'
end
end
I hope u get the idea. and if you could post the spec someone might be able to help easier ..
