Cucumber + ajax + error

Hello Friends,

The following error I am getting when Testing the app

Then a invitation message should be sent to “xyz@example.com” # features/step_definitions/office_staff_steps.rb:5
expected the following element’s content to include “Invitation sent successfully”:
window.location.href = “/office_staffs”; (Spec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)

Then /^a invitation message should be sent to “([^”]*)"$/ do |arg1|
And “I should see “Invitation sent successfully””
end

And the same is working fine on the browser.

Let me know if someone has the same problem.

Thanks
Abhis

Abishek,

Your problem is that you are able to see the sucess message when testing from browser but not through cucumber?
I think you did not code completely the steps definition.

Then /^a invitation message should be sent to “([^”]*)"$/ do |arg1|

And “I should see “Invitation sent successfully””
end
In this you need some form action (mostly through webrat) like ‘When I press Send’

Send in more details if you need further help.

Are you using Webrat::Selenium, watir or selenium?
Plain webrat won't suffice as you can't emulate javascript (including
the ajax callback)...

Hello Satyajit/clemens,
Thanks for your reply.
On the controller side once the request is completed
I am doing
render :update do |page|
flash[:notice] = “Invitation sent successfully to #{@object.email}”
page.replace_html “something”, :partial => “some_partial”
end
So this works fine when I am testing it on a browser. but it get failed when I do the same thing with cucumber.
something.feature -->
Scenario: something
Given blah blah blah
And I fill in “name” with “abhis”
And I fill in “email” with “abhis@example.com”
And I press “Add”
Then a invitation message should be sent to “abhis@example.com”
something_steps.rbThen /^a invitation message should be sent to “([^”]*)"$/ do |email|
And “I should see “Invitation sent successfully to #{email}””
end
Thanks for any help.

Thanks

Ok I came to know where I was getting wrong.

   Then "a" invitation message should be sent to "abhis@example.com"

The "a" should be in capital. "A"

Then "A" invitation message should be sent to "abhis@example.com"

:slight_smile:

Thanks
