page.should have_field fails

[tmaier]

All my checks for have_field fail.

For example, when I run

          page.should have_field "Manufacturer", with: "Siemens"
          page.should have_field "Product name", with: "Lufthaken"
          page.should have_field "Unit", with: "Stk."
          page.should have_checked_field "Accepted"

I get the following error message:

  Failure/Error: page.should have_field "Manufacturer", with: "Siemens"
  NoMethodError:
   undefined method `fields' for Capybara::Session:Class

The matcher have_checked_field works as expected.

Are you using mongoid-rspec gem?

I had similar issue and the problem was in capybara and mongoid-rspec both having have_field matcher. I solved it by restricting usage of Mongoid::Matchers to model specs using

configuration.include Mongoid::Matchers, :type => :model

in rspec config. If that doesn't help you can run rspec with -b option to see full backtrace. That can give some idea about what's wrong in your case.

Hi Kirill,

you were right.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks @KL-7 . I might mention that this line of code should be in spec/support/mongoid.rb.

It does´t work for my, then I used the "page.has_field? notation"

page.has_field?("field_name").should == true
