Capybara::Poltergeist::DeadClient errors!

1

If you’re getting the Capybara::Poltergeist::DeadClient error, then consider trying this fix:

 config.after :each do |example|
      page.driver.restart if defined?(page.driver.restart)
 end

I added that right after I required “capybara/poltergeist” in my rails_helper.rb

Here’s the full error this fixed:

  5) 2 react components, 1 store, server side, controller setup /server_side_hello_world_shared_store_controller Type in one component changes the other component
     Failure/Error: background { visit url }
