POCucumber + selenium fails randomly
text
Body
copied!<p>My selenium tests like to fails randomly. As an example I have this scenario</p> <pre><code>Scenario: I should be able to edit a user Given I created a user with the login "test@example.com" And I am viewing the user with login "test@example.com" Then I should see "Edit this user" When I click "Edit this user" Then I should be editing the user with login "test@example.com" When I press "Update" Then I should be viewing the user with login "test@example.com" And I should see "User was successfully updated." </code></pre> <p>This, along with the others, work fine using the basic webrat :rails mode. In selenium, the line</p> <pre><code>Then I should be editing the user with login "test@example.com" </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>Then I should be viewing the user with login "test@example.com" </code></pre> <p>fail randomly, in that sometimes the first fails, other times the seconds fails. Using the website by hand results in the correct operation, and like I said, the webrat/rails mode works fine.</p> <p>Rails 2.2.2 Cucumber 0.3.7 selenium 1.1.14 (fixed to work with FF3)</p> <p>Some extra info:</p> <pre><code>Scenario: I should be able to edit a user # features/admin_priviledges.feature:26 Given I created a user with the login "test@example.com" # features/step_definitions/global_steps.rb:18 And I am viewing the user with login "test@example.com" # features/step_definitions/global_steps.rb:60 Then I should see "Edit this user" # features/step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb:93 When I click "Edit this user" # features/step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb:18 Then I should be editing the user with login "test@example.com" # features/step_definitions/global_steps.rb:66 expected: "/users/8/edit", got: "/users/8" (using ==) Diff: @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ -/users/8/edit +/users/8 (Spec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError) features/admin_priviledges.feature:31:in `Then I should be editing the user with login "test@example.com"' When I press "Update" # features/step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb:14 Then I should be viewing the user with login "test@example.com" # features/step_definitions/global_steps.rb:66 And I should see "User was successfully updated."

The press "Update" one is a standard webrat step (click_button)</p>
