Timeout::Error with Selenium/Capybara/Cucumber

Question

I have a Scenario step

When I fill in the following:
  | Credit Card Number | 4111111111111111 |
  | CCV Value          | 123              |
  | First name         | First            |
  | Last name          | Last             |
  | Address            | 123 My St.       |
  | City               | My City          |

This step is inconsistently failing with a Timeout::Error

(::) failed steps (::)

execution expired (Timeout::Error)

And its even weirder that the step fails when filling different fields. Any pointer would be greatly appreciated..

Answer 1

It looks like the issue was with Fakeweb gem.. i removed that gem and now it seems to be working..
