Specs: Rails 5.2, Ruby 2.5.1, Yarn 1.91.1, React-Rails 2.6.0, selenium-webdriver 3.14, chromedriver 77, capybara gem 3.29 , Ubuntu 18.04
Issue: I created a questionnaire using react components in a Rails app which works when run in development mode. I can click the yes or no button then a callback function renders the new question text. However my selenium integration tests don't pick this up. The page
object continues to have the same text for the first question so I receive an error like this
Failure/Error: expect(question.text).to include('last question')
expected "first question" to include "last question"
The test itself looks like this in features/questionnaire.rb
RSpec.feature "Onboarding Questionnaire", type: :feature, js:true do
(...)
it...
question = find('h3.question')
expect(question.text).to include('first question')
yes = find('#yes')
yes.click
sleep 5
question = find('h3.question')
expect(question.text).to include('last question')
The problem arises after yes.click
. I thought at first my animations were causing the issue, but I removed those and it is just using setState in my callback function.
Here is my react callback function
saveAnswer(e) {
questionnaire = this
++questionnaire.state.page
questionnaire.setState({page: questionnaire.state.page})
}
Here is my driver config
Capybara.javascript_driver = :selenium_chrome_headless
Now using sleep
works as desired. Here are the changes I made.
1) I removed the deprecated gem chromedriver-helper
and replaced it with webdrivers
2) Added require 'webdrivers'
to the rails_helper.rb file.
3) Found error in my react code (which wasn't showing up in development or being logged in chrome webdriver) of questionnaire = this
which I changed to var questionnaire = this
.
Integration tests now pass fine using selenium_chrome_headless
