Question

I have the following request rspec test:

describe "CRUD" do
  it "should list users" do
    10.times do
      FactoryGirl.create(:user)
    end

    visit users_path
    page.should have_selector('table tr', :count => 10)
  end
end

The problem is that it always gives this error:

1) Users CRUD should list users
    Failure/Error: page.should have_selector('table tr', :count => 10)
    expected css "table tr" to return something

Any ideas of why this is happening? It looks very similar to the test in rspec manual.

Thanks.

According to the capybara docs, supplying count checks for that exact number. You’re checking for 10 rows, but you have 12.
