#TIL #capybara #save_and_open_page #pry

Today I learned that when using a binding.pry like this inside a Capybara feature test

require "test_helper"

feature "User::CanResetPassword" do
  before do
    visit reset_password_path
  end

  scenario "valid email" do
    binding.pry
    within("form[action='/password_resets']") do
      fill_in "Email", with: "admin@example.com"
    end
    click_button "Submit"
    current_path.must_equal sent_password_path
  end

you can use the following method

pry(#<User::CanResetPassword Feature Test>)> save_and_open_page

This opens the page content in a browser. Which makes it easier to debug if the selector you think should match something doesn't match anything.
