水豚验收测试：＃的未定义方法“访问”

Question

I'm in the process of upgrading an old krufty application to Rails 3.1. The company has been using RSpec and Capybara for acceptance tests. We've got some acceptance tests under spec/acceptance that are failing with the following message:

Failure/Error: get @url
 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `get' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_1:0x007feb7c0abf58>

Here's an example of one of the tests (from the top of the file):

require_relative 'acceptance_helper'                                                                                                                                                 

feature 'Catalog' do                                                                                                                                                                 
  before do

When consulting the oracle, I keep stumbling across issues mentioning the 'visit' method such as this: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/814

I also keep coming across posts related to this article: http://alindeman.github.com/2012/11/11/rspec-rails-and-capybara-2.0-what-you-need-to-know.html

I'm not sure that I'm having the same issue. I can post my spec_helper.rb and acceptance_helper.rb if they will be of any use.

I guess it's worth noting that these specs passed before I updated rspec-rails and capybara.

My gut feeling is that perhaps rspec-rails is clobbering some of capybara's methods, or some of capybara's methods are simply no longer being loaded. Could that be the issue?

Answer 1

Try and add config.include Capybara::DSL in spec_helper.rb , inside the config block. like so:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Capybara::DSL
