  service = create_service_for(provider, title: \"First service\")
  fill_edit_service_f         


        

Answer 1

The most probable reason is there must be some query going on through ajax / database cleaner is truncating the database prematurely while sql query is running. One of the method is to make webkit driver wait till the ajax request is finished. Add this method in the test helpers and call it after clicking the button / submitting the ajax form.

    def wait_for_ajax_to_finish
    looping = true
    loop do
      sleep 1
      begin
        count = page.evaluate_script('window.running_ajax_calls').to_i
        looping = false if count == 0
      rescue => e
        if e.message.include? 'HTMLunitCorejsJavascript::Undefined'
          raise "For 'wait for the AJAX call to finish' to work, please include culerity.js after including jQuery."
        else
          raise e
        end
      end
    end
  end
