    <p>I have a request spec which passes up until the point where I need to check to see if content is present on the page, which I am using <code>page.should have_content</code> to do. The content is actually a message which appears on successful form submission, which is rendered from a messages partial. The test fails even though If I test through the browser, functionality works as expected and the content appears as it should. I'm also using FactoryGirl to generate the users to use for the form submission.</p> <p>Here's the error I get after running the spec with the --format d option:</p> <pre><code>UserSignup shows a thank you message on successful form submission (FAILED - 1) Failures: 1) UserSignup shows a thank you message on successful form submission Failure/Error: page.should have_content("Thank you. You will be notified of our launch at #{user.email}.") expected #has_content?("Thank you. You will be notified of our launch at quinn.purdy@casperzboncak.org.") to return true, got false # ./spec/requests/user_signup_spec.rb:21:in `block (2 levels) in &lt;top (required)&gt;' </code></pre> <p>user_signup_spec.rb:</p> <pre><code>require 'spec_helper' describe "UserSignup" do it "shows a thank you message on successful form submission" do user = FactoryGirl.create(:user) visit sign_up_path fill_in "user_fullname", with: user.fullname fill_in "user_email", with: user.email click_button "Sign up" current_path.should eq(sign_up_path) page.should have_content("Thank you. You will be notified of our launch at #{user.email}.") end end </code></pre> <p>users_controller.rb:</p> <pre><code>class UsersController &lt; ApplicationController def new @user = User.new end def create @user = User.new(secure_params) if @user.valid? @user.subscribe flash[:notice] = "Thank you. You will be notified of our launch at #{@user.email}." redirect_to sign_up_path else render :new end end private def secure_params params.require(:user).permit(:fullname, :email) end end </code></pre> <p>I'm wondering if it could be because I render the messages partial from the application layout, but when it gets outputted in the users view, the message appears inside the <code>body</code> of the source, but outside the <code>main</code> class.</p>

    1. COhave you tried 'expect(page).to have_content "Thank you. You will be notified of our launch at #{user.email}."'? How about sticking pry in your gem file, requiring it 'require "pry"' and adding binding.pry under your page.should line. then type page (enter) and see what it says.

    2. COYou can also use `puts page.body` and `save_and_open_page` to see what the capybara page content is at any point (note: the latter requires the `launchy` gem to be installed.

    3. COAlso, do you have any uniqueness validation in your User? The `FactoryGirl.create` call will actually save that user to the DB, so the one you're trying to sign up through the page may be clashing.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
