Capybara can find but not fill_in

Question

I am having some very strange behaviour with Capybara. It stubbornly refuses to fill in the fields of my login form.

Answer 1

if it is an autocomplete field, you can use this:

  def fill_in_autocomplete(id, value)
    page.execute_script("document.getElementById('#{id}').setAttribute('value', '#{value}');")
  end
