Find and fill in input field by data attribute

I want to find elements by a "test" data attribute and fill them in like the following:

When(/^I sign in with valid credentials$/) do
  email = page.find("data-test='email'")
  password = page.find("data-test='password'")
  fill_in email, with: @user.email
  fill_in password, with: @user.password
  submit = page.find("[data-test='submit']")
  submit.click
end

The button works fine, but the inputs throw the following error:

Unable to find field #<Capybara::Element tag="input"> (Capybara::ElementNotFound)

Is there a way to do this in capybara? Thanks in advance for the help.

fill_in method accepts element's id, name or label text, so it might not work with the result the find method returns. In your case try the set method: 

find("input[data-test='email']").set(@user.email)
