Listbox and dropdown fields (both are FieldType: "Choice") seem to work differently on different platforms. This branch includes two tests that raise errors while trying to fill listbox and dropdown fields.
The tests in this branch currently expect errors on my local OS X 10.11 machine, but since Travis CI does not get errors with these fields, the tests do not pass remotely.
This branch should exist to resolve these issues, and can be closed by either deciding not to support those field types at this time (they do not generally exists in paper forms), or by finding a way to fill these field types consistently on multiple platforms.
Here are the expected local errors:
