Capybara :: Element not found
I am working with the Rspec book as it is developing the "showtime" rails application that provides information about movies. As far as I can tell, I have copied the code exactly (the book is not that good, allowing readers to know every step to take), but I am getting this error.
Unable to find select box "Release Year" (Capybara::ElementNotFound)
./features/step_definitions/movie_steps.rb:6:in `/^I create a movie Caddyshack in the Comedy genre$/'
The movie_steps.rb file has this code that provides users with a select box to select a release year that Capybara cannot find.
#---
When /^I create a movie Caddyshack in the Comedy genre$/ do
visit movies_path
click_link "Add Movie"
fill_in "Title", :with => "Caddyshack"
select "1980", :from => "Release Year"
check "Comedy"
click_button "Save"
end
Then /^Caddyshack should be in the Comedy genre$/ do
visit genres_path
click_link "Comedy"
response.should contain("1 movie")
response.should contain("Caddyshack")
end
In movie view I have this code, which as far as I can tell I need to implement a select box.
<%= form_for @movie do |f| %>
<%= f.label :title %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
<%= f.label :release_year %>
<%= f.select :release_year, (1900..2009).to_a.map(&:to_s) %>
<% @genres.each do |genre| %>
<label>
<%=h genre.name %>
<%= check_box_tag "genres[]", genre.id %>
</label>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit "Save" %>
<% end %>
I would be grateful for any suggestions you could provide.

Try it select "1980", :from => "Release year"
. If you want it to appear as "Release Year" then change your shortcut like this:
f.label :release_year, "Release Year"
Rails will automatically format the shortcut for you using the humanize method , but you can change it to whatever you like.
