• Capybara inconsistent about what page it’s on

We have a spec that does something along the lines of

visit '/#foo'
visit '/#bar'
save_and_open_page
page.should have_content("bar")

The save_and_open_page gives the bar page, but the assertion fails because it looks for "bar" in the contents of the foo page rather than the bar page.

One suggestion was to tell capybara to resync.

• Webviews for iOS app – slow?
