Login with Capybara

[Jim Harvey]

I'm having trouble logging in to my application with a dummy user using capybara. I'm getting an "infinite redirect" error so I'm wondering if Hobo is somehow not creating the session after "clicking" the login button in my test. Here is the error:

Failure/Error: click_button 'Login'

     Capybara::InfiniteRedirectError:

       redirected more than 5 times, check for infinite redirects.

     # (eval):2:in `click_button'

     # ./spec/requests/home_page_spec.rb:14:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>

The test.log shows that the redirect is going back and forth between:

Started GET "/login" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-01-12 10:26:27 -0800

  Processing by UsersController#login as HTML

and

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-01-12 10:26:27 -0800

  Processing by FrontController#index as HTML

and here my test, if it helps:

describe "..." do

    it "...etc etc... " do

      visit user_login_path

      fill_in 'login', :with => @user.email_address

      fill_in 'password', :with => "Please"

      click_button 'Login'

      page.should_not have_content("...")

    end

  end

Let me know if you need more code/info. This one is really confounding me... Thanks!

Sorry, I can't really say much beyond "It works for me". The testing
branch of agility-gitorial uses capybara to log in successfully.
Maybe you can take a look at that to see what it's doing differently
from your app.

The other thing to try is to use selenium with capybara -- seeing what
it's doing in a browser often helps pinpoint the issues. Once it
works in the browser you can switch back to webrat.

cheers,
Bryan

I'm working with Hobo + Rspec + Capybara and I've seen this before. I
believe it was a weird bug with sessions in RackTest (one of the
drivers of Capybara).

As Bryan suggested try with the Selenium driver. In my case I'm
currently working with the Webkit driver, and I also use Selenium to
debug when I get lost.

Regards,
Ignacio
