Clear masked input field in Capybara and Rspec

may help you . I'm looking at the http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/ , It looks like I should just make the whole mask optional:

mask('?999-999-9999')

it fixes the issue I'm seeing an error in some integration specs, using rspec, capybara, capybara-webkit and timecop. , The solution I found was to add

before :each do
  Timecop.return
end

wish of those help Looks like send_keys will be your friend.
Try find_field('Your field').native.send_keys('some text')

fixed the issue. Will look into that further OK, after much meandering through Capybara's source files I found the problem. It seems that the #find_field method doesn't work properly when using Capybara-webkit. The method only failed on examples that had the js: true argument, so that should have been the first clue. Anyway it seems that the cause of this is some method naming conflict between capybara and capybara-webkit, but I didn't analyze it too closely and so I can't be sure.
I changed the find_field('from_date') to find('#from_date') and everything works now. It also worked when changing to the :rack_test driver, but since I need webkit that's what I'll stick too. Is this issue documented anywhere??

I wish did fix the issue. HTML ids are case sensitive and you've defined the Team label as applying to the id prepay_subject_Team, which does not appear in your page. Only the id prepay_subject_team exists (i.e. lower case t in Team).
If the capitalization in the for attribute of a label element doesn't match the capitalization of the id attribute of it's matching input element, Capybara can't find the input element.
