Capybara unable to pick up hidden element

Pretty simple spec is failing after upgrade (Rails 4.2 -> 5.2) and Capybara (2.x to 3.10.1).



I think it might have something to do with the way .hover is being used to make a hidden element appear on mouseover, but I could be wrong?!?



The "1" bubble appears when driver is manually paused right before "expect(…)" . However, I'm not sure Capybara's .hover is working in the spec. Is there any other way to do do this?



RSpec:



scenario 'changes counter' do
close_modal type: :image

find('editable-section:nth-child(1) li.photo:nth-child(1)').hover

save_and_open_page # <- `1` is visible on the page (see HTML below)

within 'editable-section:nth-child(1) li.photo:nth-child(1)' do
expect(page).to have_css '.comment-count', text: '1'
end
end


Failure:



  1) Comment creation for image changes counter
Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_css '.comment-count', text: '1'
expected to find visible css ".comment-count" with text "1" within #<Capybara::Node::Element tag="li" path="/HTML/BODY/DIV[2]/SECTION/DIV/EDITABLE-SECTION[1]/DIV/DIV/DIV/SECTION/UL/LI"> but there were no matches. Also found "", which matched the selector but not all filters.


It doesn't even respond to:

RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError: expected to find visible css ".comment-count" but there were no matches. Also found "", "", "", which matched the selector but not all filters.


HTML from Chrome paused right before expect shows that .comment-count is clearly there:

What's happening if I stop the test after find('...').hover the element is visible but the element is not revealed. If i manually hover the mouse at this point or force a :hover (as seen in image) then the test proceeds immediately and passes.



It is finding the element, as replacing .hover with .click opens the modal. Something about .hover is not working. Is that any other way to automate a :hover event?

    Also - you can't trust save_and_open_page for visibility issues, because it saves HTML attributes not properties, and isn't always able to load the CSS. Instead just pause your test and look at the browser to see whether the count is visible. The error message is telling you that it's finding 3 elements that match `.comment-count' but they are not visible or the text doesn't match '1' -- are you sure you're selecting within the correct element (maybe add more of the HTML to the question)??

  • Ok -- you show two different error messages - one has "" and one has "","","" - so one is finding one element that matches '.comment-count' and the other is finding 3 (none are actually visible though) -- why the difference?

  • How is the visibility handled? Is it through CSS or is it via a JS library? If JS what events is it dependent on?
