I was working on some project using webrat and cucumber (rails 3), so I created a feature with this command

rails g cucumber:feature Requeriment client:string realization:date hour:string shipping_company:string booking:string destiny:string rtype:string

Then my feature is like this

 Scenario: Delete requeriment
    Given the following requeriments:
      |client|realization|hour|shipping_company|booking|destiny|rtype|
      |client 1|20/01/2011|08:30|shipping_company 1|booking 1|destiny 1|rtype 1|
      |client 2|20/01/2011|08:30|shipping_company 2|booking 2|destiny 2|rtype 2|
      |client 3|20/01/2011|08:30|shipping_company 3|booking 3|destiny 3|rtype 3|
      |client 4|20/01/2011|08:30|shipping_company 4|booking 4|destiny 4|rtype 4|
    When I delete the 3rd requeriment
    Then I should see "La orden de servicio fue eliminada exitosamente"
    And I should see the following requeriments:
      |Client|Realization|Hour|Shipping company|Booking|Destiny|Rtype|
      |client 1|20/01/2011|08:30|shipping_company 1|booking 1|destiny 1|rtype 1|
      |client 2|20/01/2011|08:30|shipping_company 2|booking 2|destiny 2|rtype 2|
      |client 4|20/01/2011|08:30|shipping_company 4|booking 4|destiny 4|rtype 4|

When I run it, I get this error message

Failing Scenarios:
cucumber features/manage_requeriments.feature:27 # Scenario: Delete requeriment

2 scenarios (1 failed, 1 passed)
23 steps (1 failed, 2 skipped, 20 passed)
0m1.263s

But I don’t have defined any type method, I don’t know why webrat is triying to call it

my step definition is here

When /^I delete the (\d+)(?:st|nd|rd|th) requeriment$/ do |pos|
  visit requeriments_path
  within("table tr:nth-child(#{pos.to_i+1})") do
    click_link "Destroy"
  end
end

Can anyone help me?

./app/views/requeriments/show.html.erb line 10 is where the error is. Do you have single-table inheritance? That’s what this smells like.
