Figure 3.4 Welcome aboard: take #2
First steps
your browser, you’ll see the famous Welcome Aboard page from Rails (the same one
you saw when you generated your first application in chapter 1), shown in figure 3.4.
This is the page Capybara sees, and the reason the first step passes is that Capybara
can go to the homepage successfully. This Welcome Aboard page lives at public/
index.html in your application. To proceed, delete this file using this command:
git rm public/index.html
Run rake cucumber:ok again. This time you’ll see that the first step fails:
Given I am on the homepage
No route matches [GET] "/" (ActionController::RoutingError)
The first step fails because you removed the public/index.html file that Rails was originally
serving up at the root path, so the task goes to Rails. Rails claims it can’t handle
that route and throws an exception. You have to tell Rails what to do with a request for
/, or the root route comes in. You can do this easily in config/routes.rb. At the moment,
this file has the content seen in the following listing (comments removed).
