property(:validity) is always nil

Using element.native for normal things is generally a bad idea - since it makes your tests driver specific. Also the way you're writing your helpers is going to produce race conditions. You'll be much better off just using the CSS pseudo selectors :valid and :invalid -

def expect_valid(element)
    expect(element).to match_css('*:valid')
end

As to why it always returns nil for this - it's because validity returns a ValidityState object which Apparition doesn't know how to deal with, I need to look at that.

Fixed nil response via 72233c0 - however you're still going to be better off longterm just using the :valid/:invalid CSS pseudo selectors rather than directly accessing the validity property.

Also, the next Capybara release will have a :valid node filter option on the :field and :fillable_field selectors
