Answer 1

I had the same issue. After a day fighting, my tests finally passed.

The code that I am using is:

within_frame("producto_condiciones_ifr") do
  editor = page.find_by_id('tinymce')
  editor.native.send_keys 'filling text'
end

The first line is a method of capybara. The parameter passed is the ID of the iframe.

Line #2 is a must.

In line #3 goes the text that you wish to place inside TinyMCE
