Re: how to pre-select a collection_select inside a form_for?
Set the html_options parameter in collection_select to { :selected =>
params[:friend_type] }

Re: how to pre-select a collection_select inside a form_for?
I''m curious what you have as far as relationships in your FriendType
model? Does it belong_to :user?
If so,
<%= f.collection_select(:user_id, FriendType.all, :id, :name, options=
{:prompt => false}, {:class => ''yourCustomClass''}) %>
Hope that helps you out.

Re: Re: how to pre-select a collection_select inside a form_for?
Ok I added:
page.html
And my select is actually empty, it has no options! But when running
rails server I can see the select and options (and the dropdown list in the
browser).
Why is it not rendering using capybara?
My controller for new is:
@account = Account.new
My view page has:
<% form_for .. %>
<%= f.label :plan_type%>
<%= f.collection_select :friend_type, FriendType.all, :id, :name, {
:selected => params[:friend_type] } %>
<%end%>
My test looks like:
describe "User pages" do
subject { page }
describe "new" do
before { visit ''/user/new'' }
describe "with valid information" do
before do
select ''XXXX'', :from =>
"user[friend_type]"
fill_in ...
...
end
it "should create a user" do
expect { click_button "Create"}.to change(User,
:count).by(1)
end
end
end
end
Is this a timing issue?
