Capybara methods are undefined

Question

I cannot get capybara to work. I am using capybara 2.0.0

I get this error

Failure/Error: visit \"/users/sign_in\"
     NoMethodError:
       undefine         


        

Answer 1

If you've got version >= 2.0, any tests that use Capybara methods like visit should go under a spec/features directory, and not under spec/requests, where they'd normally reside in Capybara 1.1.2.

Have a look at the following links for more information:

• rspec-rails and capybara 2.0: what you need to know
• rspec-rails gem Capybara page

If you don't want to use a spec/features directory, you should be able to mark a test as a feature in the following way and have Capybara methods work:

describe "Some action", type: :feature do
  before do
    visit "/users/sign_in"
    # ...
  end
  # ...
end
