I have just started with RSpec and Capybara but got stuck on my first test.
Here's me test code located in spec/features/pages_spec.rb :
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe "Pages", :type => :request do
describe "About Page" do
it "should have the content 'About Us'" do
visit '/pages/about'
page.should have_content('About Us')
end
end
end
Running the test i get the following error :
01:06:59 - INFO - Running: spec
F
Failures:
1) Pages About Page should have the content 'About Us'
Failure/Error: visit '/pages/about'
NoMethodError:

I've been searching about this for about an hour and everywhere I find the solution of moving the test code from spec/requests to spec/features.
I've also seen this here : http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/rspec-rails/file/Capybara.md which most of the solution suggests and it is not recommended to use.
# not recommended!
RSpec.configure do |c|
c.include Capybara::DSL, :file_path => "spec/requests"
end
I've no idea how to proceed. Your help will be appreciated.
Either take :type => :request out of the describe block (which overrides the spec type determined from the directory location) or change it to :type => :feature.

I am following Michael Hartls tutorial on rspec and I am getting this error

it "should have the content 'Sample App'" do
visit '/static_pages/home'

I don't believe that the reason I am getting this error is the test case is failing but rather this:
NoMethodError:
undefined method `visit' for #<RSpec:....
I am not sure why there is an undefined method visit
maybe you just missed:
config.include Capybara::DSL
also you could look to the same qestion here
I am currently reading Michael Hartl's Rails book, and am on chapter 3 where you begin to write tests. My problem is, I can't get the first test to work. From googling and reading several threads no stackoverflow, as well as the Capybara readme, I have made some changes from his code however I still cannot get the visit function to work. The relevant files are included below.
spec/spec_helper.rb
require 'capybara'
require 'capybara/rspec'
Rspec.configure do |config|
config.include Capybara::DSL
end
Capybara.configure do |config|
config.app = "Sample App"
end
features/static_pages_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
feature "Static pages" do
feature "Home page" do
it "should have the content 'Sample App'" do
visit '/static_pages/home'
expect(page).to have_content('Sample App')
end
end
end
And the relevant error message that is throwing me for a loop:
Failure/Error: visit '/static_pages/home'
NoMethodError:
undefined method `call' for "Sample App":String
#./spec/features/static_pages_spec.rb:9:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
Seeing the error I have tried removing config.app from spec_helper.rb, but that just leads to another error.
Failure/Error: visit '/static_pages/home'
ArgumentError:
rack-test requires a rack applicaiton, but none was given
#./spec/features/static_pages_spec.rb:9:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
Not sure what the reasoning is, but after doing more research to fix this issue in spec/features/static_pages_spec.rb I needed to change require 'spec_helper' to require 'rails_helper'.
I am trying to dry up my testing and would like to check routes. app.send("home_path") returns "/home" in the console but when I run it in tests it comes back as an undefined method.
Any ideas?
1) StaticPages Check paths should have content Home
Failure/Error: visit app.send("#{term.downcase}_path")
NoMethodError:
undefined method `home_path' for #<test::Application:0x007f917a48e078>
# ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:18:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'
["Home", "About"].each do |term|
describe "Check paths" do
before(:each) do
visit app.send("#{term.downcase}_path")
end
it "should have content #{term}" do
expect(page).to have_content(term)
end
end
end
I am a bit confused here. I am trying to do TDD and have run into an issue. Rspec is telling me the following-
1) Sammiches GET /sammiches display some sammiches
Failure/Error: visit sammiches_path
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `sammiches_path' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_4::Nested_1:0x007fa7afcfed70>

2) Sammiches GET /sammiches creates a new sammich
Failure/Error: visit sammiches_path

# ./spec/requests/sammiches_spec.rb:12:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
This is what my spec file looks like
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Sammiches" do
describe "GET /sammiches" do
it "display some sammiches" do
#sammich = Sammich.create :name => 'bacon'
visit sammiches_path
page.should have_content 'bacon'
end
it "creates a new sammich" do
visit sammiches_path
fill_in 'Sammich', :with => 'lechuga'
click_button 'add Sammich'
current_path.should = root_path
page.should have_content 'lechuga'
save_and_open_page
end
end
end
My routes are -
sammiches_index GET /sammiches/index(.:format) sammiches#index
Sammiches GET /Sammiches(.:format) Sammiches#index
POST /Sammiches(.:format) Sammiches#create
new_Sammich GET /Sammiches/new(.:format) Sammiches#new

I am at a bit of a loss here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You seem to have added resources :Sammiches in config/routes.rb.
Change it to resources :sammiches. Sticking to the convention, helps. :)
Your route file should look like:
Sammiches::Application.routes.draw do
resources :sammiches
root :to => 'sammiches#index'
