Capybara's visit method returns : NoMethodError: undefined method `to_i' for true:TrueClass

Question

I'm trying to go through the confirmation process :

request_url = "/users/confirmation?confirmation_token=azq32soznE1xuSWLjBat"

Then when I do :

visit request_url

It returns :

NoMethodError: undefined method `to_i' for true:TrueClass

I thought, originally, that this was Devise, but it doesn't hit any of my debuggers so it never even makes it there. What's even more puzzling was that I made no adjustments to this area of my app, so I'm very confused as to how this suddenly arose.

Any ideas on how to debug this?

Answer 1

My guess is the confirmation token doesn't exist. Look at the code surrounding the error, you have something that is saying

my_variable = true
my_variable.to_i

You're calling .to_i somewhere on a boolean, which is no good.
