Cucumber via Envjs says "a.ownerDocument is null"
March 10, 2011
I recently received the following errors when running capybara with envjs. Strangely, there was a kind of double stack trace. Here are the exeptions:
===
WARNIING: {ENVJS} Exception while dispatching events: a.ownerDocument is null
a.ownerDocument is null (Johnson::Error)

Ask Cucumber with Capybara for inline HTML... now with CSS Selectors!

Two very useful cucumber steps:

Then 'display the page' do
puts "\n\n\n#{page.body.to_s}\n\n\n"

Somehow, Rails3 was installed in my 1.8 rvm gemset. rails3 depends on i18n v >= 0.4. Uninstalling i18n (and rails3, since it doesn't run in 1.8 anyway) corrected this issue.

Issue:
*"Missing these required gems: pdf-writer = 1.1.8"*

Anthenticating against PayFlowPro for Rails with ActiveMerchant
July 29, 2010
