Why does rspec fail?


i want to check page's title through rspec. in chrome i see the expected result but rspec claim the title is empty(in chrome view source it also ok). here some code:

application.html.rb

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>site | <%= yield(:title) %></title>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", :media => "all" %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>

<%= yield %>

</body>
</html>

home.html.erb

<% provide(:title, 'Home') %>
<h1><%= yield(:title) %></h1>
<article>
  <div><a href="#">Cameras</a></div>
  <div><a href="#">TVs</a></div>
  <div><a href="#">Laptops</a></div>
</article>

home_page_controller.rb

class HomePageController < ApplicationController
  def home
  end
end

routes.rb

Reviewsite::Application.routes.draw do
   get "home_page/home"

home_pages_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'
feature "HomePages" do

  before { visit '/home_page/home'}

  scenario do
    expect(page).to have_selector('h1', text: "Home")
  end

  scenario do
    expect(page).to have_selector('title', text: "site | Home")
  end

end

and the error

Failures:

  1) HomePages 
     Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_selector('title', text: "site | Home")
     Capybara::ExpectationNotMet:
       expected to find css "title" with text "site | Home" but there were no matches. Also found "", which matched the selector but not all filters.

Solution

  • instead of

    expect(page).to have_selector('title', text: "site | Home")
    

    i changed it to

    expect(page.html).to have_selector('title', text: "site | Home")
    

    and it worked, i double checked it. if anyone understand why page alone doesnt work, please share.
