I wrote a simple Cuke feature for a form on a demo site. The feature looks like this.

    Given I am on the home page
    When I set the "Start Date" to "2010-10-25"
    And I set the "End Date" to "2011-1-3"
    And I press the "Go" button
    Then I should see "Cake Shop"

The idea is that after I press the Go button, a new page will load, showing a list of results, and one of the results should be "Cake Shop."

But I have not managed to get this to work. Is there something that I am missing?

Edit: here is the step definitions.

Given /^I am on the "([^"]*)" page$/ do |page|
  visit root_path
end

When /^I set the "([^"]*)" to "([^"]*)"$/ do |field, date|
  fill_in field, :with=>date
end

When /^I press the "([^"]*)" button$/ do |arg1|
  click_button('Go')
end

The final step is defined in web_steps.rb I believe....and it's always there that it's failing.

Then I should see "Cake Shop" # features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb:107 expected #has_content?("Cake Shop") to return true, got false (RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError) ./features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb:110:in block (2 levels) in <top (required)>' ./features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb:14:in with_scope' ./features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb:108:in /^(?:|I )should see "([^"]*)"(?: within "([^"]*)")?$/' features/specify_timerange.feature:12:in Then I should see "Cake Shop"'
