undefined method `visit_page' for #<Object:0x007fe29cb4c798> (NoMethodError)

Question

My current issue only occurs when executing test from command line. When running the script from RubyMine I have no issues, from command line it looks like this

cucumber features/regression/createCloudUser.feature -r features/step_definitions/ -r lib/

Execution:

Feature: User pages Creation
  Add user to system

  Background:                   # features/regression/createUser.feature:4
Given you are in Cloud Staging # features/step_definitions/is_given_steps.rb:5
  undefined method `visit_page' for #<Object:0x007fe29cb4c798> (NoMethodError)
  ./features/step_definitions/old_pages.rb:10:in `/^you are accessing User Page$/'

it points to the following page:

#is_given_steps.rb
When(/^you are accessing User Page$/) do
  defined? $base_url
  #pry
  visit_page CreateCustomerPage   #Error is on this line unsure why?
end

Here is the class:

require 'fig_newton'
require 'page-object'

class CreateCustomerPage
  include PageObject
  include DataMagic

  page_url "https://#{FigNewton.site_url}/admin/users/new"

  text_field(:first_name, :id => 'user_first_name')
  text_field(:last_name, :id => 'user_last_name')
  text_field(:user_email, :id => 'user_email')

  button(:create_customer, :name => 'commit')
  button(:cancel, :name => 'button')


  def customerIsCreated
    raise 'User Not Created' unless browser.text.include?("#{FigNewton.customer_created.to_s.strip}")
    return true
  end

  def customerIsNotCreated
    raise 'User was Created' unless browser.text.include?("#{FigNewton.customer_no_created.to_s.strip}")
    return true
  end

  def complete_user_creation (data = { })
    populate_page_with data_for(:create_user, data)

    create_customer
  end

end

project is set up as follows:

added env.rb

require_all 'lib'


$base_url = FigNewton.sys_url #used to parse a separate Url


World(PageObject::PageFactory)

I am not sure why visit_page would throw an error on that page. When I execute from Rubymine I have no issue and the test runs successfully. Please help.

Answer 1

Since you are manually requiring folders, my guess is that you are not requiring the folder that includes the env.rb.

Given the project setup, I would guess that the env.rb is in the support folder. You need to include a require for this in your Cucumber command - ie -r features/support:

cucumber features/regression/createCloudUser.feature -r features/step_definitions/ -r lib/ -r features/support

Answer 2

This error

undefined method `visit_page' for # (NoMethodError)

means that you have not initialized the page where visit_page lives. You could require, or if you're doing a POM, you need to do something like this for where ever that step lives:

Given $/You are in Cloud Staging$/ do 
  @page = SomePage.new(@test_env) // initialize new object where method lives
  @page.visit_page
end
