Visit method not found in my rspec

Question

My java web application is running on tomcat at http://localhost:8080/

Writing my first spec, home_spec:

require \'spec_helper\'


d         


        

Answer 1

Also make sure your tests are in the /spec/features directory. According to rspec-rails and capybara 2.0, Capybara v2 and higher will not be available by default in RSpec request specs. They suggest to "...move any tests that use capybara from spec/requests to spec/features."

Answer 2

By default the capybara DSL is included automatically if the file is in spec/requests, spec/integration or if the example group has :type => :request.

Because your file is in spec/home the capybara helpers aren't being included. You can either conform to one of the patterns above or adding include Capybara::DSL should also do the trick (you might also need to replicate some of the before(:each) stuff that would be setup.)

Answer 3

1) Add to ‘rails_helper’ config:

config.include Capybara::DSL
config.include Capybara::RSpecMatchers

And comment out the `require 'spec_helper'` line.

2) Add to 'spec_helper':

require 'rails_helper'

Answer 4

The default directory that Capybara::RSpec now looks at to include the Capybara::DSL and Capybara::RSpecMatchers is changed from requests to features.

After I renamed my requests directory to features I got the matcher and DSL methods available again without having to explicitly include them.

Answer 5

First check it out

If you are not success,

Add this code your end of the your spec helper actually out of the RSpec.configure block as well

module ::RSpec::Core
  class ExampleGroup
    include Capybara::DSL
    include Capybara::RSpecMatchers
  end
end

Answer 6

Regarding to rspec issues (https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/360)

you should put

config.include Capybara::DSL

in spec_helper.rb, inside the config block.
