Issue with Capybara request specs with JS - can't find the model

I'm having an issue with JS request specs - basic visiting of a model edit page:

it "can edit a doc", :js => true do
  doc = FactoryGirl.create(:doc) # tried with Doc.create as well
  puts Doc.find(doc.id) # 1 <- so it's definitely in the DB!
  visit edit_doc_path(doc) 
end

Result: "ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound - Couldn't find doc with id=1"

The odd thing is it works with standard request spec. I tried both webkit and selenium drivers. My spec_helper looks like this (should be pretty standard):

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = false

  Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit

  config.before(:suite) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.start
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end

  config.before(:each, :type => :request) do
    Capybara.reset_sessions!
  end
end

Rails 3.1.4, no versioning for capybara, rspec, etc. test libraries.

Any input much appreciated! Thanks!

What happens if you remove js:true? - DVG

Seems like you have same problem as this: Capybara with :js => true causes test to fail

Try setting DatabaseCleaner strategy to :truncation and see if it works

config.before(:suite) do
  DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
end
