Question

I am doing the Michael Hartl Rails 3 Tutorial, Chapter 8.4 pages 316-320. I run the users_spec.rb test and both tests don’t pass with the following error:

Failures:

1) Users signup failure should not make a new user

Failure/Error: fill_in "Name", :with => ""
Webrat::NotFoundError:

Could not find field: "Name"

# ./spec/requests/users_spec.rb:12:in `block (5 levels) in <top (required)>'
# ./spec/requests/users_spec.rb:10:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'

2) Users signup success should make a new user

Failure/Error: fill_in "Name",             :with => "Example User"
Webrat::NotFoundError:

Could not find field: "Name"

# ./spec/requests/users_spec.rb:28:in `block (5 levels) in <top (required)>'
# ./spec/requests/users_spec.rb:26:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'

2 examples, 2 failures**

MY USERS_SPEC.RB FILE –

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Users" do
  describe "signup" do
    describe "failure" do
      it "should not make a new user" do
        lambda do
          visit signup_path
          fill_in "Name",       :with => ""
          fill_in "Email",      :with => ""
          fill_in "Password",   :with => ""
          fill_in "Confirmation", :with => ""
          click_button
          response.should render_template('users/new')
          response.should have_selector("div#error_explanation")
        end.should_not change(User, :count)
      end
    end

    describe "success" do
      it "should make a new user" do
        lambda do
          visit signup_path
          fill_in "Name",       :with => "Example User"
          fill_in "Email",      :with => "[e-mail]"
          fill_in "Password",   :with => "foobar"
          fill_in "Confirmation", :with => "foobar"
          click_button
          response.should have_selector("div.flash.success",:content => "Welcome")
          response.should render_template('users/show')
        end.should change(User, :count).by(1)
      end
    end
  end
end

Can anyone help me?

Thank you!

Answer 1

OK i solved the problem. I am using the Rails 3 Tutorial to make my authentication system for my own Website so i changed the Sign Up Form at app/views/users/new up a little bit from the original of Michael Hartls:

Original =

<div id="signupfield">
<%= f.label :name, "Name" %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>

My own Edit=

<div id="signupfield">
<%= f.label :name, "Username" %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>

The parentheses (Name & Username) are important because it goes in spec/requests/users_spec.rb:

Original=

lambda do
visit signup_path
fill_in "Name",  :with => "".......

My Own Edit =

lambda do   
visit signup_path       
fill_in "Username", :with => ""......

I got the test to pass completely, just remember whatever you put in the parentheses has to be the same as the view parentheses.
