Question

I am using cucumber+capybara in my tests

env.rb
Capybara.run_server = false
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
World(Capybara::DSL)

In my test I am clicking on a link

Then /^I see deals on map$/ do
  find("#dealmap").click
end

Above action is opening a layer (div) but the process stuck on find(“#dealmap”).click method. After 5 seconds I am getting following error

 Timeout::Error (Timeout::Error)
      /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:146:in `rescue in rbuf_fill'
      /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:140:in `rbuf_fill'

      features/frontend/search_results_page.feature:6:in `Then I see deals on map'

NOTE:
I have tried with increasing time but it is not solving the problem

I am unable to resolve the issue. Any suggestions ?

I think the problems comes from this line

Capybara.run_server = false

You will need this if you’re running rack based tests. Remove it and re-run your tests.

If you’re running web based tests you would want to keep this in there- and just because you’re using Selenium doesn’t mean you’re running web bases tests. You’re still running rack based tests but in a browser.
