Rails Capybara Can't Sign In

Question

I have a spec as follows.

it 'should login with correct user/password', 
    js: true, driver: :selenium do

    visit new_user_session_path

    fill_in 'user_email', with: user.email
    fill_in 'user_password', with: user.password
    click_on 'loginButton'

    expect_current_path(home_path)

end

If I removed driver: :selenium , it works. I thought it's because of RSpec Configuration for transactions. Hence, I added Database Cleaner and disabled config.use_transactional_fixtures = false . However, it was still failing. I debugged Devise (devise-4.2.1/l ib/devise/strategies/database_authenticatable.rb) as follows.

  def authenticate!
    resource  = password.present? && mapping.to.find_for_database_authentication(authentication_hash)
    hashed = false

    debugger
    if validate(resource){ hashed = true; resource.valid_password?(password) }
      remember_me(resource)
      resource.after_database_authentication
      success!(resource)
    end

    mapping.to.new.password = password if !hashed && Devise.paranoid
    fail(:not_found_in_database) unless resource
  end

After checking I can see mapping.to.find_for_database_authentication(authentication_hash) does return the user as wanted. However, validate(resource) failed for selenium ON. I checked more into it and found out def self.compare(klass, hashed_password, password) is the root cause (in devise-4.2.1/l ib/devise/encryptor.rb).

So the main reason was because it couldn't compare the password. I suspect it has to do with Encryption. Can someone help?

Answer 1

After crazy time, I found the answer to this. The problem is with Capybara Selenium, it doesn't like number 3. Let me explain. My user.password was '12345678' and the code only fills in '1245678'

fill_in 'user_email', with: user.email
fill_in 'user_password', with: user.password

I've tried with different combinations such as '331', '123'. They all got the number 3 removed. Hence, I changed my test password to 'abcd' and it worked. Following is what I've got in my Gemfile.lock.
