failing cucumber test: not detecting flash message

I have a surprisingly simple cucumber scenario for a rails 4 app that isn't passing.  I am checking that a flash message got set, and this test fails when I run cucumber.  However, it is all correct, set, appearing, etc. when I run it live.  I could really use some insight about what might be happening.

THANKS!

    Hi,

     

    This works for me....

    import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
import java.io.File;

def resp = context.expand( '${Some Request#Response}' ).toString();
def response = new JsonSlurper().parseText(resp);

log.info(response.toString());

// I'm on Windows, escape the double backslash
File myFile = new File("c:\\Temp\\json2.json");

// Reponse might 'log', but its not a string.  Stringify it.
myFile.write(response.toString());

    Do you have the possibility to take a screenshot when the test is failing?

    Do you have the possibility to execute your test not in headless mode, to freeze it, and to check the DOM?

      What I found out is that I have to check the flash message first because it is ephemeral.  I was checking which page I was on first.  I re-ran the test with put page.body and saw that when I swapped the order of the tests, I could see the flash message. 

       

      Thank you for your help.
