There was a problem hiding this comment.
Instead of creating 4 factories for all scenarios, only create the necessary ones for each scenario.
Resolves rubyforgood#6701 When github's free CI servers are under heavy load, a race condition between the page loading and checking the database causes tests to flake. This is caused by a system test inputting data into a form then immediately checking the database without waiting for the form to finish submitting. For every database check in the system files, this ensures it's preceded by a capybara matcher with automatic waiting, such as checking for assertions after the page loads before checking for DB values, or replaced the database check with a check for something to appear on the page. I also took the opportunity to refactor some small things to save up test setup time: - build factories instead of creating as much as possible - require `:js` only when necessary - remove unused variables and factories - keep necessary factories close to where they are used to avoid creating extra factories when not needed - update Date string to Date objects (these were flaky locally), similar to rubyforgood#6764

When github's free CI servers are under heavy load, a race condition between the page loading and checking the database causes tests to flake. This is caused by a system test inputting data into a form then immediately checking the database without waiting for the form to finish submitting.
For every database check in the system files, this ensures it's preceded by a capybara matcher with automatic waiting, such as checking for assertions after the page loads before checking for DB values, or replaced the database
check with a check for something to appear on the page.
