Capybara Version: 3.39.2
Driver Information (and browser if relevant): rack-test 2.1.0
Expected Behavior
page.visit 'about:blank`
it should succeed.
Actual Behavior
NoMethodError: undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass
c.path.sub!(%r{/[^/]*$}, '/') unless uri.path.empty?
^^^^^^^
from /Users/esanzgar/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.4/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/capybara-3.39.2/lib/capybara/rack_test/browser.rb:159:in `block in base_relative_uri_for'
uri.path
is nil
and calling empty?
raises the exception.
Sometimes it is challenging testing elements that are present in the old and new page. It is useful load a different page, about:blank
, in between the old and new pages.
Since the rack test driver is synchronous in it's page loading and doesn't support dynamic modification of the page (no JS) this feature request doesn't really have any value.
