user_pages_spec.rb

  describe "with valid information" do before do fill_in "Name", with: "Example User" fill_in "Email", with: " user@example.com " fill_in "Password", with: "foobar" fill_in "Confirmation", with: "foobar" end it "should create a user" do expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1) end describe "after saving the user" do before { click_button submit } let(:user) { User.find_by_email(' user@example.com ') } it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) } it { should have_selector('div.alert.alert-success', text: 'Welcome') } it { should have_link('Sign out') } end describe "followed by signout" do before { click_link "Sign out" } it { should have_link('Sign in') } end end

Error:

 1) User pages signup with valid information followed by signout Failure/Error: before ( click_link "Sign out" ) Capybara::ElementNotFound: no link with title, id, or text 'Sign out' found (eval):2:in 'click_link' ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:63:in 'block (5 levels) in (top (required))'

After creating the user process manually, it works. The link is in the drop-down menu, if, perhaps, this can have something to do with it? This is in place in the MHartl rails manual, where he says that all tests should pass.

The code of the suspect, apparently, should be nested inside within the previous description

  describe "after saving the user" do before { click_button submit } let(:user) { User.find_by_email(' user@example.com ') } it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) } it { should have_selector('div.alert.alert-success', text: 'Welcome') } it { should have_link('Sign out') } describe "followed by signout" do before { click_link "Sign out" } it { should have_link('Sign in') } end end

The before block in the last description has not created a user yet. This is why a user (who does not exist yet) is not currently signed up, so there is no "exit" link.

One possible solution is click_button 'submit' in the previous block. Another is to skip the character in the before block at all, because at this point the user has not signed.

Yes, it should be nested inside the previous description. I can confirm that this also works for the Rails 4 tutorial version.
