I am trying with Capybara to use the Select Method. I tried all the solutions included, especially those from this Stackoverflow Discussion.

I have the following select done with the country_select gem. This is the html.erb code from the form:

<%= f.country_select(:country, {include_blank: 'Select a country', selected: "Select a country"}, {class: 'form-control', :id => "country_select"}) %>

The html from the browser looks like this:

<select class="form-control" id="country_select" name="user[country]"><option value="">Select a country</option>
    <option value="AF">Afghanistan</option>
    <option value="AX">Åland Islands</option>
    <option value="AL">Albania</option>
    other staff...

When I debug the select method from the Capybara GEM file actions.rb row 183 (where I set a breakpoint), the output is correct.

  def select(value, options={})
    binding.pry
    if options.has_key?(:from)
      from = options.delete(:from)
      find(:select, from, options).find(:option, value, options).select_option
    else
      find(:option, value, options).select_option
    end
  end

So the line:

find(:select, from, options).find(:option, value, options)

returns 

=> #<Capybara::Node::Element tag="option" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div/form/div[4]/select/option[2]">

Which is the correct select option. As you can see the option[2] is Afganistan, but it looks like .select_option does not work.

I think Capybara is not opening the select box before selecting the field. I have capybara (2.13.0) and rails 5.0.2

Thanks a lot Fabrizio Bertoglio

Thanks.

I solved the problem. Sorry, it is a stupid solution.

I forgot in my Application Controller to include:

before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
