Capybara synchronize with has_no_css?

Question

Since upgrading to Capybara 2.4, I\'ve been running into this issue. Previously, this block worked fine:

page.document.synchronize do
  page.should have_no_c         


        

Answer 1

The solution I've settled for is the following:

page.document.synchronize do
  page.assert_no_selector('#ajax_indicator', :visible => true)
end

The assert_no_selector method properly throws a Capybara::ExpectationNotMet error and appears to work in the same way as has_no_css, so I'm satisfied with this solution.

I still have no idea why the RSpec error is being thrown for some methods but not others.

Edit: While this works it isn't actually a good idea to do so, see other responses.
