在Selenium与Rails / RSpec一起使用时无法登录用户

Question

I am running tests that starts by logging in a user using the login form. It successfully opens Firefox, navigates to the login form and fills in the fields, but when it clicks the 'Login' button, it hangs indefinitely. When I quit Firefox the test that was running fails, but I am not getting any additional error message.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? This is driving me crazy and preventing me from testing a big portion of my app, any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Here is some additional info:

This is where it hung. The rest of the log appeared after the test timed out.

This was in the Spork console after the test timed out:

1.1) Failure/Error: click_button 'Sign in'

          Net::ReadTimeout:

users/sessions_controller.rb (using Devise)

class Users::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
  include ApplicationHelper

  def create
    super
  end

  def new
    render 'new'
  end

  def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
    user_path(resource)
  end
end

Got stuck at this point when stepping through the controller using byebug :

in /Users/JAckerman/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.4/gems/devise-3.5.6/app/controllers/devise/sessions_controller.rb
   12:     respond_with(resource, serialize_options(resource))
   13:   end
   14: 
   15:   # POST /resource/sign_in
   16:   def create
=> 17:     self.resource = warden.authenticate!(auth_options)

After stepping into that, I got stuck here:

in /Users/JAckerman/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.4/gems/warden-1.2.6/lib/warden/proxy.rb
   122:     # Example
   123:     #   env['warden'].authenticate!(:password, :scope => :publisher) # throws if it cannot authenticate
   124:     #
   125:     # :api: public
   126:     def authenticate!(*args)
=> 127:       user, opts = _perform_authentication(*args)
   128:       throw(:warden, opts) unless user
   129:       user
   130:     end

Answer 1

After pulling out a lot of hair, this is what ended up working:

Change:

# configure database cleaner
config.before(:suite) do
  DatabaseCleaner.start
  DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
end

To:

# configure database cleaner
config.before(:suite) do
  DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
end

And add config.use_transactional_fixtures = false to rails_helper.rb , which had been there at the beginning and had been removed at some point in the many iterations of configurations that I had tried.

Either way, hopefully this saves someone else a headache!
