I have a form that collects an email address.

  <%= form_tag accounts_path, :method => :post do %>

    <div class="field">

      <%= label_tag :email %><br />

      <%= text_field_tag :homeEmail %>

    </div>

    <div class="Section-button">

      <div class="actions">

        <%= submit_tag "Update", class: 'btn btn-primary' %>

      </div>

    </div>

  <% end %>

I have the field tag for the email being :homeEmail because I want to recover it in the controller using params[:homeEmail].

I want to use a capybara feature spec test such as

  fill_in 'Email', with: user.email, match: :first

  click_button Update

but I receive the error:

Unable to find visible field "Email" that is not disabled within #<Capybara::Node::Element

The element is not disabled, and when I try the page in development mode it works. The test fills in the field if I just change the text_field_tag to

<%= text_field_tag :email %>

but this does not work in the controller because the params is params[:email] not params[:homeEmail].

How do I get this test working?

fill_in finds the element to fill by name, id, or associated label text. When you're doing fill_in 'Email', ... I assume you're intending it to use the associated label text option. The issue you're having is that the label isn't actually associated with the field (if you look at the HTML source you'll see the labels for attribute doesn't match the inputs id attribute). The fix is to change your view to correctly associate the label with the field

<%= form_tag accounts_path, :method => :post do %>

  <div class="field">

    <%= label_tag :homeEmail, 'Email' %><br />

    <%= text_field_tag :homeEmail %>

  </div>

  ...

Then your fill_in 'Email', with: user.email should work correctly

Instead of doing:

  fill_in 'Email', with: user.email, match: :first

You should do:

  fill_in 'homeEmail', with: user.email, match: :first

Since capybara tries to find an element with id or name attributes if you're doing <%= text_field_tag :homeEmail %> it will generate <input type="text" name="homeEmail" id="homeEmail"> but while filling it you're using Email as a selector for which capybara is not able to find any element.

Let me know if it helps!
