Web scraping with Capybara

I'm trying to fill and submit form with Capybara. I have a code that looks like this:

session = Capybara::Session.new(:webkit)
session.visit "https://login.microsoftonline.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=4&ct=1463412429&rver=6.1.6206.0&wp=MCMBI&wreply=https:%2F%2Fwebpooldb41e06.infra.lync.com%2FPassiveAuth%2FPassiveAuth.aspx%3FredirectUrl%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fwebpooldb41e06.infra.lync.com%252fScheduler%252f&lc=1033&id=266537"
session.fill_in('cred_userid_inputtext', :with => '[email protected]')
session.fill_in('cred_password_inputtext', :with => '12341234')
session.save_page

When I save this page to the file and open it I see that form wasn't filled and submitted...

Any ideas?

#save_page saves the html of the page, it doesn't save updated element properties which get updated when you fill in text fields. #save_screenshot should show the fields filled in though.

You aren't calling submit anywhere in that code. You are simply filling in field values and then calling save page. You need to add a trigger('click') method after you fill in the form to submit it. You should then call the current_url method on your session after that to see if it made it to the next page in your console. In ruby it would simply be:

puts session.current_url

And if all is correct you would see the new url to the page after form submission in your console.
