i'm guessing triggering assets in wildcard route match ':action(/:id)' => "site". however, when command + shift + f in textmate (to keywords within whole project) can find 1 reference assets in view , commenting out doesn't anything.

i tried changing cucumber use truncation instead of transaction in env file:

from: cucumber::rails::database.javascript_strategy = :transaction to: cucumber::rails::database.javascript_strategy = :truncation

but nothing has worked. bug? or there wrong test/views? there alternative selenium try test javascript?

update: trying install capybara-webkit, running error.

    nets-mac-pro:sl-mobile emai$ bundle install     ...     ...      gem::installer::extensionbuilderror: error: failed build gem native extension.              /users/emai/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p362/bin/ruby extconf.rb      command 'qmake -spec macx-g++' not available       gem files remain installed in /users/emai/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p362@sherry3/gems/capybara-webkit-0.14.2 inspection.     results logged /users/emai/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p362@sherry3/gems/capybara-webkit-0.14.2/./gem_make.out 

so figured out. cucumber failing because there missing images haven't migrated on yet old project (i'm upgrading project rails 2 rails 3, lot of files have not been moved on yet). had constants pointing these images, , causing cucumber fail when these assets weren't found. warned!
