fill_in not working

This fills out the form without the :js => true but when I add :js => true, it doesn't fill out the form anymore.

This isn't related to the fixture transactions issue as I've already changed that part.

Changes to forms won't be visible in save_and_open_page, because filling in text fields doesn't actually modify the DOM. You can save a screen shot by using the render method on the driver: http://rubydoc.info/gems/capybara-webkit/Capybara/Driver/Webkit#render-instance_method (it accepts a path, and width/height options).

The should change lambda that's commented out in your example won't usually work with asynchronous drivers, because the server thread will likely still be processing the request when you check to see if it created an appointment. Capybara has a helper called wait_until to deal with these async issues:

original_count = Appointment.count
click_button "Pay Now & Request Appointment"
wait_until { Appointment.count == original_count + 1 }

It's generally better to look for something on the page rather than looking for changes in the database. If you use matchers like have_content and have_css, Capybara will synchronize for you.
