I've been playing with Capybara and the selenium web-driver to learn about web-automation. I've been trying to refresh a particular page with Capybara. I've seen a few methods but they each have issues that make them not feasible in certain cases.
session.visit link is just doing nothing, as the session is already at that link. I can do session.reset! but then I lose the login.
The few other methods I've seen - don't use Capybara's inbuilt wait functionality. This means if there is heavy server load - or in my tests with a restricted DL/UL rate the 'refresh' happens but then it quickly tries to look for a field in the next page that doesn't exist yet because it hasn't loaded.
So my question is specifically - how do I refresh a page in Capybara without loosing the login session using Capybara's inbuilt wait functionality?
