Use the back button in Cucumber
In order to go back one page in your Cucumber tests, you can use the following step definition for Capybara:
When(/^I go back$/) do
visit page.driver.request.env['HTTP_REFERER']
end
If you're on Webrat, this should work:
When(/^I go back$/) do
visit request.env["HTTP_REFERER"])
end
An improved version of this step is now part of our gem spreewald on Github Show archive.org snapshot .
