[Rspec] Cause of feture test failure even though fill_in is correct Isn't login failing?

rspec feature test doesn't pass

It's easy to understand and convenient with capybara, but I'm addicted to fill_in, so I'll introduce one of the solutions.

An error occurs at fiii_in in expect.

I couldn't specify the id found in the verified and generated html, create a new id, or use find 。。

However, after several hours of fighting, the conclusion was reached.

Goal of this article

Try to verify it as one of the fill_in error solutions!

Conclusion Login has failed

In my case, I was getting an error because I couldn't log in successfully.

Failed code

topics_spec.rb

scenario "user creates a new topic" do
    user = FactoryBot.create(:user)
    visit root_path
    click_link "Login"
    fill_in "Email", with: user.email
    fill_in "Password", with: user.password
Here → click_link "Login"

    expect {
      visit new_topic_path
      fill_in "topic_description", with: "test"
      click_button "Post"
      
      expect(page).to have_content "Posted"
      expect(page).to have_content "test"
      expect(page).to have_content "#{user.name}"
    }.to change(user.topics, :count).by(1)

I was clicking the link in the header instead of submit to specify the login with click_link. So I entered my email address and password on the login page and clicked on the login page again. .. What a barren thing. .. .. ..

So specify click_button instead of click_link.

topics_spec.rb

scenario "user creates a new topic" do
    user = FactoryBot.create(:user)
    visit root_path
    click_link "Login"
    fill_in "Email", with: user.email
    fill_in "Password", with: user.password
Here → click_button "Login"

    expect {
      visit new_topic_path
      fill_in "topic_description", with: "test"
      click_button "Post"
      
      expect(page).to have_content "Posted"
      expect(page).to have_content "test"
      expect(page).to have_content "#{user.name}"
    }.to change(user.topics, :count).by(1)

This passed properly.

Summary

I was only looking at fill_in because there was an error in fill_in, but I was able to reaffirm the importance of stopping and looking at the whole thing.

I hope it helps!
