用capybara错误填充fill_in hidden_​​field

Question

I am trying to set the value for a hidden_field but I am getting an error:

in pry

find("#element_id", visible: false)
=> #<Capybara::Element tag="input">

now trying to set it returns an error

find("#element_id", visible: false).set true
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::ElementNotVisibleError: element not visible

from /Users/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.3/gems/selenium-webdriver-2.44.0/lib/selenium/webdriver/remote/response.rb:52:in `assert_ok'

Any ideas would be great! I also tried using xpath but to no avail. Any ideas would be great.
