Capybara: expected not to find xpath "/html/body/*", found 3 matches

I'm getting this exception and I can't figure out why.

  expected not to find xpath "/html/body/*", found 3 matches: "", "Log in Welcome back Sign up Join the community myproj.com Community curated directory of 0 EVENTS", "". Also found "", which matched the selector but not all filters. (Capybara::ExpectationNotMet)

i had the same issue. what i've done to solve it, it's to add visit 'about:blank' in the last line of the test case.

ie:

it 'testing search functionality...' do
   visit '/'
   fill_in('search_id', with: 'tablet')
   click_link 'Search'
   expect(page).to have_content 'tablet'

   visit 'about:blank'  #<-- this flashes page body (the buffer 
                        #    of the last page) and that's it
end

good luck :)

The problem in this case was that after I would click a link, the page that the link was pointing to didn't get to load before the expectation was run. I had the click and the expectation in two different steps. So by adding an expectation to the step that did the clicking, I was able to fix this (by forcing capybara to wait for the new page to load).
