I have a Cucumber feature with matching step definitions like the following:
Feature:
Feature: Time reporting @javascript Scenario: User reports billable time with valid data * I am signed in * the project I worked on exists in the system * I report 3 hours of work on the project * 3 hours should be logged in the system Steps:
Given(/^the project I worked on exists in the system$/) do @company = FactoryGirl.create :company @project = FactoryGirl.create :project, company: @company end When(/^I report (\d+) hours of work on the project$/) do |hours| visit "/time-reporting/#{Date.today}" select_from_chosen @company.name, from: "company_id" select_from_chosen @project.name, from: "time_entry_project_id" page.evaluate_script("document.querySelector('#time_entry_hours').value = #{hours}") click_on "Report" end Then(/^(\d+) hours should be logged in the system$/) do |hours| #save_and_open_page expect(TimeEntry.last.hours).to eq hours.to_f end This fails because, even though I’m saving the TimeEntry model in TimeEntriesController, the call to TimeEntry.last fails. It seems the model was not persisted.
If, however, I uncomment save_and_open_page, the assertion works because it has now magically found the model.
What is this voodoo?
Edit:
I suspect this has something to do with Capybara-Webkit. If I interact with the page in some way, like this:
expect(page.has_content?("3.0 hours were logged.")).to be true …and I run the model assertion directly after it, then both assertions work just fine.
