[rspec-users] issues when trying to select an option in a drop down list
My html looks like:
<select id="account_car_type"
name="account[car_type]"><option value="6
">Acura</option> <option
value="7">Honda</option> <option
value="8">Ford
</option> <option value="9">Toyota</option>
<option value="10">GM</option>
</select>
My requests spec looks like:
before do
select ''7'', :from => "account[car_type]"
fill_in ..
..
end
I get the error message:
Failure/Error: select ''7'', :from =>
"account[car_type]"
Capybara::ElementNotFound:
cannot select option, no option with text ''7'' in select
box
''account[car_type]''
# (eval):2:in `select''
# ./spec/requests/account_pages_spec.rb:13:in `block (4 levels) in
<top (required)>''
I also tried:
select ''Honda'', :from => "account[car_type]"
And got the same type of error.
What am I doing wrong here?

>From reading the error and the docs, it sounds like the last one:select ''Honda'', :from => "account[car_type]" ...should work. The one thing I can think of that might keep it from working would be not being scoped to an area that includes the select box. Perhaps you could install pry and add binding.pry above that line, and then run it, and then poke around in the repl and see if you''ve got the right context. You did make the request to get that page, right?

Yes I made the request, my test case was working fine with all my other fields. I just added the dropdown list and updated the test case, and it can''t seem to find the element.
