Gem versions: Rails 4.1.14.rc2, Capybara 2.5.0, capybara-webkit 1.7.1
Our application is using bootbox modals to express soft validations for certain inputs. I am trying to use the accept_confirm with block method to capture the modal before Webkit automatically accepts it like so:
modal = accept_confirm do
fill_in " Date of birth", with: "12/31/2015"
click_on "Update Spouse"
end
expect(modal).to # have some sort of message
I receive this error in response:
Failure/Error: modal = accept_confirm do
Capybara::ModalNotFound:
Timed out waiting for modal dialog
Does anybody have any experience using Webkit with bootbox modals?
***** UPDATE WITH SOLUTION *****
This was a race condition. Webkit moves faster than bootbox and it wasn't using capybara's wait time for some reason. Adding a sleep 0.5 after the event that triggers the bootbox modal allows the test to run properly. See example below:
fill_in " Date of birth", with: "12/31/2015"
click_on "Add benefit"
sleep 0.5
expect(page).to have_content "some warning message..."
click_on "Make Correction"
sleep 0.5
fill_in " Date of birth", with: "12/31/1905"
click_on "Add benefit"
sleep 0.5
expect(page).to have_content "some warning message..."
click_on "Make Correction"
The Capybara modal API is for interacting with system modals -- generated by calling window.alert/confirm/prompt in JS -- bootbox modals aren't system modals, they're just standard html elements. You interact with them like any other element on a page.
