Capybara: Filled-in forms and save_and_open_page

Question

When I fill forms using capybara and page opens in browser, the fields are empty. Is it normal?

page.fill_in 'Email', :with => '[email protected]'
save_and_open_page

Answer 1

It seems that filling stuff into a text field doesn't make it part of the DOM (specifically, the value attribute of the <input> element), so it won't show up in the page you get.

So yes, it looks like this is normal indeed.
