Question

My Cucumber scenario is used to test authentication from a third party provider. What happens is when the facebook connect button is clicked on my registration page a redirect goes to Facebook, and when the credentials are authorized by Facebook, then a redirect happens back to my website.

In my selenium test, it is using the development database on redirect. I know this because its ending up on a page where there is data which shouldn’t be the case because the test database is empty.

features/authentication.feature:

  @javascript
  Scenario: Signup through Facebook
    When I am on the signup page
    And I click the Facebook authentication link
    And I fill and submit the Facebook form
    Then I should be on the Add additional information page

This fails on the I should be on the Add additional information page step because I never get there. This means a data row exists for the facebook user which means its using the development database. Is there a setting I’m missing?

features/support/env.rb

require 'cucumber/rails'

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../config/environment')
Capybara.default_selector = :css
Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit
Capybara.app_host = "http://localhost:3000"

# factory_girl Factory definitions
Dir[(Rails.root + "spec/factories/**/*.rb").to_s].each {|factory| require factory}

ActionController::Base.allow_rescue = false

Cucumber::Rails::Database.javascript_strategy = :truncation
Cucumber::Rails::World.use_transactional_fixtures = true

Answer 1

Remove Capybara.app_host = "http://localhost:3000"
You’re running the server in development environment and making Capybara use it.
