Rspec Testing issues -- Beginner Coder and not sure where to start in troubleshooting this.

[Shawn Wilson]

Im a noob to ROR and programming in general. i know enough to be dangerous but not enough to figure out where the hell i'm going wrong here.  so this is what ive done so far. 

- wrote test: 

- tried to run test to enter text into 2 string fields (see below for errors)

thanks for your help with this!  

Testing with Rspec and Capybara

Testing Code used to run: 

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Create User lists" do

    it "redirects to the users list index page on success" do

        visit "/users"

        click_link "New User"

        expect(page).to have_content("New User")

        

        fill_in "First_Name", with: "Shawn"

        fill_in "Last_Name", with: "Wilson"

        click_button "Create User"

        

        expect(page).to have_content("Shawn")

        end

    end

error returned to console when run: 

Shawns-MacBook-Pro:SafeReporAPP TaurenLTD1$ bin/rspec spec/features/users/create_spec.rb

Deprecation Warnings:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup#example is deprecated and will be removed

in RSpec 3. There are a few options for what you can use instead:

  - rspec-core's DSL methods (`it`, `before`, `after`, `let`, `subject`, etc)

    now yield the example as a block argument, and that is the recommended

    way to access the current example from those contexts.

  - The current example is now exposed via `RSpec.current_example`,

    which is accessible from any context.

  - If you can't update the code at this call site (e.g. because it is in

    an extension gem), you can use this snippet to continue making this

    method available in RSpec 2.99 and RSpec 3:

      RSpec.configure do |c|

        c.expose_current_running_example_as :example

      end

(Called from /Users/TaurenLTD1/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0/gems/capybara-2.1.0/lib/capybara/rspec.rb:20:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>')

If you need more of the backtrace for any of these deprecations to

identify where to make the necessary changes, you can configure

`config.raise_errors_for_deprecations!`, and it will turn the

deprecation warnings into errors, giving you the full backtrace.

The message seems pretty straightforward: are you absolutely sure
that "First_Name" is a label on the page? I would normally expect
human-readable text like e.g. "First name".

Can you passte your html/view code???

Hassan is correct. I would check the value used in the name property of the field. First_Name is not the same as first_name.
