rails 3.2 capybara Capybara::ElementNotFound:Unable to find xpath "/html"

capybara, ruby-on-rails

Solution

Wrong type of test. This looks like a controller test, which does tests with methods like get and post and is in the spec/controllers folder. Request specs, which use capybara, reside in spec/requests. Run `$ rails generate scaffold SomeModel` to see how they each should look.

If you understood the above but would still like to use capybara for your controller test, modify your describe block:

describe AdminPanelController, :type => :request do
  ...
end

Problem

I am trying to test my rails app with rspec 2.10.0 + capybara 1.1.2. Here is my test file ``` require 'spec_helper' describe AdminPanelController do describe "index" do it "should have return code 200" do visit '/admin' page.should have_content "hello" #response.status.should be(200) end end end ``` And here are test result ``` Failure/Error: page.should have_content "hello" Capybara::ElementNotFound: Unable to find xpath "/html" ``` I google about this issue but find only information that webrat can be a problem however i do not have this gem installed. Thanks for any suggestions.
