Using Capybara to select from a collection_select call (select tag)

[David Zhang]

I'm trying to use Capybara to test this.  I have a step that goes

    When I select "Price Chopper" from "Organization"

And the step definition is 

When /^(?:|I )select "(.+)" from "(.+)"$/ do |value, field|

  select(value, :from => field)

end

For some reason, I keep getting the error:

cannot select option, no select box with id, name, or label 'Organization' found (Capybara::ElementNotFound)

      (eval):2:in `select'

… although my view is

<label>Organization</label>

<%= collection_select :restaurant, :organization_id, Organization.all, :id, :name, { :prompt => "[Select organization]" } %>

Shouldn't this work?  The label is "Organization"!

I'm sure the solution to this is simple... anyone know?  I just want to test the select field...

The error message is "no select box ... with label 'Organization' found". Your label exists, but it is not connected to the select field.

It should be <label for="restaurant_organization_id"></label>

If you're using it in some kind of form_for(@restaurant) - helper you'd simply have to use form.label :organization_id.
