I am trying to build an app with Cucumber for the first time, using Rails 5.2.6, Rspec, Capybara and Factory bot.

I successfully got through my first feature with scenarios for authentication with devise.

UPDATE

Through a series of troubleshooting steps, detailed below, the problem is that the controller collection @cocktails somehow isn't passing to the view ONLY in the cucumber test.

With the rails server, it passes with no problem.

I checked and @cocktails only appears on the controller and the view. So its not getting overwritten or erased, at least directly.

Its working in the unit RSpec test and also rails server.

How it is not getting passed in the cucumber test? Can anyone see why it wouldn't pass from the controller to the test?

But I hit a snag in my second feature file for CRUD functionality. The very first given step uses FactoryBot to create 2 items, log in the user and go straight to the index for just those two items. But the page shows the view but not the 2 created items as confirmed by using:

puts page.body

in the cucumber file

When I create them on the actual application, it functions correctly, goes straight to the index and displays them.

So I'm trying to figure out how to troubleshoot this. My first thought is to find a way to confirm that FactoryBot created the 2 items. My second thought is to confirm they are actually set to the user. I have tried to use puts to display the two created objects or the user, but I haven't figured out how to call upon them within cucumber.

This is the step file:
