Capybara::Poltergeist::MouseEventFailed

[passalini]

Hi, I'm trying to use this gem at my project, but when I put this in my spec it returns this error:

Capybara::Poltergeist::MouseEventFailed:
  Firing a click at co-ordinates [188, 135] failed. 
  Poltergeist detected another element with CSS selector 'html body div#select2-drop-mask.select2-drop-mask' at this position.
  It may be overlapping the element you are trying to interact with. 
  If you don't care about overlapping elements, try using node.trigger('click').

my files: select2_spec.rb:

#...a lot of anothers specs...
select2(@kuririn.email, from: 'User')
expect(page).to_not have_content @goku.email
expect(page).to have_content @kuririn.email

view.html.erb

<%= simple_form_for :filter, url: 'filter', method: 'get', html: {class: 'form-inline' } do |f| %>
  <label for="user_id">User</label>
  <%= f.input_field :user_id, collection: @project.users, as: :select,
      value_method: :id,
      label_method: :email,
      class: "select_users_by_select2" %>
<% end %>

<% @users.each do |user| %>
  <%= user.email %>
<% end %>

This works for me. Clicking on the select2-drop-mask is what the user would actually do to deactivate the select2 drop down.

find(:xpath, '//div[@id="select2-drop-mask"]').click

Well, it seems that this isn't going to get fixed I guess :(

I had this problem with contenteditable divs. The parent div would be reported as the "overlapping" element, even if I used CSS to set z-order. When making an example project to demo the error, I found that when I replace poltergeist with selenium the problem went away. YMMV

I had this problem with popups. I have two step in my spec test. Step one, Open a popup and close it. Step two, click a button on the main page. Poltergeist executed step two before the popup really closed. So "overlapping" element occured. BTW, my spec test works well with selenium.
