I'm using a markdown editor on my page, which I'm trying to target, and fill in, using capybara-webkit, but without any luck.
My template looks like this
<%= simple_form_for form, url: url, method: :put do |f| %>
<%= f.input :notes, as: :text %>
<%= f.button :submit, class: 'fluid' %>
<% end %>

<script !src="">
(function () {
var editor = new Editor();
editor.render();
})()
</script>
and the rendered html (including the executed editor javascript) looks like this (via the capybara-webkit debugging tools)
<form novalidate="novalidate" class="simple_form simple_form ui form segment new_steps_update" id="new_steps_update" action="/presentations/1/who" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post"><input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓"><input type="hidden" name="_method" value="put">

It's a bit difficult to tell, but I think the original textarea (id: step_update_notes) is being replaced by another textarea inside a div with a class of CodeMirror, so I've been trying to target this using capybara, but without luck.
This is my test as it stands now
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.feature 'Planning a presentation', type: :feature do
context 'when logged in', js: true do
let!(:user) { Fabricate(:user, password: 'password') }
before(:each) do
page.driver.allow_url('cdn.jsdelivr.net')
login_user_js(user.email, 'password')
end
context 'new presentation' do
scenario 'complete process' do
visit presentations_path
click_link 'Plan a new presentation'
expect(page).to have_content('About your presentation')
fill_in 'presentations_create_title', with: 'My presentation'
click_button 'Next'
expect(page).to have_content('Step one: Who')
# this one is unable to find the textarea
fill_in '.CodeMirror textarea', with: 'My step one who notes'
# This one seems to complete, but upon submitting the page, the value hasn't set
find('.CodeMirror textarea').set('My step one who notes')
click_button 'Next'
expect(page).to have_content('Step two: Action')
skip
end
end
end
end
So, this isn't the answer that I was expecting, and I'm not sure if this is the best way of doing it, but I found something that works.
Some research revealed that I'm able to populate the content of the Editor using javascript, specifically editor.codemirror.setValue();. So I ensured the editor variable was in the global scope inside an FTAPP object (which may or may not be the best idea), then used the following Capybara code.
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.feature 'Planning a presentation', type: :feature do
context 'when logged in', js: true do
let!(:user) { Fabricate(:user, password: 'password') }
before(:each) do
page.driver.allow_url('cdn.jsdelivr.net')
login_user_js(user.email, 'password')
end
context 'new presentation' do
scenario 'complete process' do
visit presentations_path
click_link 'Plan a new presentation'
expect(page).to have_content('About your presentation')
fill_in 'presentations_create_title', with: 'My presentation'
click_button 'Next'
expect(page).to have_content('Step one: Who')
page.execute_script('FTAPP.editor.codemirror.setValue("My step one who notes");')
click_button 'Next'
expect(page).to have_content('Step two: Action')
skip
end
end
end
end
