143
+
144
+ ### Changed
145
+

+ * Added Capybara.configure for less wordy configuration
167
+ * Added within_window to switch between different windows (currently Selenium only)
168

+
172

+
182
+ # Version 0.3.9
183

189
+ * Capybara.save_and_open_page to store tempfiles
190

191
+

+
203
+ # Version 0.3.8
204
+

206
+
207
+ ### Added

+ * Selenium now resolves attributes even if they are given as a Symbol
218
+
219
+ # Version 0.3.7
220
+
221
+ Release date: 2010-04-09
222
+
223
+ This is a drop in compatible maintainance release. It's mostly
224
+ important for driver authors.
225
+
226
+ ### Added
227
+
228
+ * RackTest scans for data-method which rails3 uses to change the request method
229

+ * Don't hang when starting server on Windoze
233
+
234

237
+
238
+ # Version 0.3.6
239
+
240
+ Release date: 2010-03-22
241
+
242
+ This is a maintainance release with minor bug fixes, should be
243
+ drop in compatible.
244
+
245
+ ### Added
246
+
247
+ * It's now possible to load in external drivers
248
+
249
+ ### Fixed
250
+
251
+ * has_content? ignores whitespace
252
+ * Trigger events when choosing radios and checking checkboxes under Selenium
253
+ * Make Capybara.app totally optional when running without server
254
+ * Changed fallback host so it matches the one set up by Rails' integration tests
255
+
256
+ # Version 0.3.5
257
+
258
+ Release date: 2010-02-26
259
+
260
+ This is a mostly backwards compatible release, it does break
261
+ the API in some minor places, which should hopefully not affect
262
+ too many users, please read the release notes carefully!
263
+
264
+ ### Breaking
265
+
266
+ * Relative searching in a node (e.g. find('//p').all('//a')) will now follow XPath standard
267
+ this means that if you want to find descendant nodes only, you'll need to prefix a dot!
268
+ * `visit` now accepts fully qualified URLs for drivers that support it.
269
+ * Capybara will always try to run a rack server, unless you set Capybara.run_sever = false
270
+
271
+ ### Changed
272
+
273
+ * thin is preferred over mongrel and webrick, since it is Ruby 1.9 compatible
274
+ * click_button and click will find <input type="button">, clicking them does nothing in RackTest
275
+
276
+ ### Added
277
+
278
+ * Much improved error messages in a multitude of places
279
+ * More semantic page querying with has_link?, has_button?, etc...
280
+ * Option to ignore hidden elements when querying and interacting with the page
281
+ * Support for multiple selects
282
+
283
+ ### Fixed

5
+ == Description:
6
+
7
+ Capybara aims to simplify the process of integration testing Rack applications,
8
+ such as Rails, Sinatra or Merb. Capybara simulates how a real user would
9
+ interact with a web application. It is agnostic about the driver running your
10
+ tests and currently comes with Rack::Test and Selenium support built in.
11
+ HtmlUnit, WebKit and env.js are supported through external gems.
12
+
13
+ A complete reference is available at
14
+ {at rubydoc.info}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master].
15
+
16
+ == Install:
17
+
18
+ Install as a gem:
19
+
20
+ sudo gem install capybara
21
+
22
+ On OSX you may have to install libffi, you can install it via MacPorts with:
23
+
24
+ sudo port install libffi
25
+
26
+ == Development:
27
+
28
+ * Source hosted at {GitHub}[http://github.com/jnicklas/capybara].
29
+ * Please direct questions, discussion or problems to the {mailing list}[http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-capybara].
30
+ * If you found a reproducible bug, open a {GitHub Issue}[http://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues] to submit a bug report.
31
+
32
+ Pull requests are very welcome (and even better than bug reports)! Make sure
33
+ your patches are well tested, Capybara is a testing tool after all. Please
34
+ create a topic branch for every separate change you make.
35
+
36
+ Capybara uses bundler in development. To set up a development environment, simply do:
37
+
38
+ git submodule update --init
39
+ gem install bundler
40
+ bundle install
41
+
42
+ == Using Capybara with Cucumber
43
+
44
+ Capybara is built to work nicely with Cucumber. Support for Capybara is built into
45
+ cucumber-rails. In your Rails app, just run:
46
+
47
+ rails generate cucumber:install --capybara
48
+
49
+ And everything should be set up and ready to go.
50
+
51
+ If you want to use Capybara with Cucumber outside Rails (for example with Merb
52
+ or Sinatra), you'll need to require Capybara and set the Rack app manually:
53
+
54
+ require 'capybara/cucumber'
55
+ Capybara.app = MyRackApp
56
+
57
+ Now you can use it in your steps:
58
+
59
+ When /I sign in/ do
60
+ within("#session") do
61
+ fill_in 'Login', :with => 'user@example.com'
62
+ fill_in 'Password', :with => 'password'
63
+ end
64
+ click_link 'Sign in'
65
+ end
66
+
67
+ Capybara sets up some {tags}[http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/tags]
68
+ for you to use in Cucumber. Often you'll want to run only some scenarios with a
69
+ driver that supports JavaScript, Capybara makes this easy: simply tag the
70
+ scenario (or feature) with <tt>@javascript</tt>:
71
+
72
+ @javascript
73
+ Scenario: do something Ajaxy
74
+ When I click the Ajax link
75
+ ...
76
+
77
+ You can change which driver Capybara uses for JavaScript:
78
+
79
+ Capybara.javascript_driver = :culerity
80
+
81
+ There are also explicit <tt>@selenium</tt>, <tt>@culerity</tt> and
82
+ <tt>@rack_test</tt> tags set up for you.
83
+
84
+ == Using Capybara with RSpec
85
+
86
+ If you prefer RSpec to using Cucumber, you can use the built in RSpec support
87
+ by adding the following line (typically to your <tt>spec_helper.rb</tt> file):
88
+
89
+ require 'capybara/rspec'
90
+
91
+ You can now write your specs like so:
92
+
93
+ describe "the signup process", :type => :request do
94
+ before :each do
95
+ User.make(:email => 'user@example.com', :password => 'caplin')
96
+ end
97
+
98
+ it "signs me in" do
99
+ within("#session") do
100
+ fill_in 'Login', :with => 'user@example.com'
101
+ fill_in 'Password', :with => 'password'
102
+ end
103
+ click_link 'Sign in'
104
+ end
105
+ end
106
+
107
+ Capybara is only included in example groups tagged with
108
+ <tt>:type => :request</tt> (or <tt>:acceptance</tt> for compatibility with Steak).
109
+
110
+ If you are testing a Rails app and using the <tt>rspec-rails</tt> gem, these
111
+ <tt>:request</tt> example groups may look familiar to you. That's because they
112
+ are RSpec versions of Rails integration tests. So, in this case essentially what you are getting are Capybara-enhanced request specs. This means that you can
113
+ use the Capybara helpers <i>and</i> you have access to things like named route
114
+ helpers in your tests (so you are able to say, for instance, <tt>visit
115
+ edit_user_path(user)</tt>, instead of <tt>visit "/users/#{user.id}/edit"</tt>,
116
+ if you prefer that sort of thing). A good place to put these specs is
117
+ <tt>spec/requests</tt>, as <tt>rspec-rails</tt> will automatically tag them with
118
+ <tt>:type => :request</tt>. (In fact, <tt>spec/integration</tt> and
119
+ <tt>spec/acceptance</tt> will work just as well.)
120
+
121
+ <tt>rspec-rails</tt> will also automatically include Capybara in <tt>:controller</tt> and <tt>:mailer</tt> example groups.
122
+
123
+ RSpec's metadata feature can be used to switch to a different driver. Use
124
+ <tt>:js => true</tt> to switch to the javascript driver, or provide a
125
+ <tt>:driver</tt> option to switch to one specific driver. For example:
126
+
127
+ describe 'some stuff which requires js', :js => true do
128
+ it 'will use the default js driver'
129
+ it 'will switch to one specific driver', :driver => :celerity
130
+ end
131
+
132
+ Finally, Capybara also comes with a built in DSL for creating descriptive acceptance tests:
133
+
134
+ feature "Signing up" do
135
+ background do
136
+ User.make(:email => 'user@example.com', :password => 'caplin')
137
+ end
138
+
139
+ scenario "Signing in with correct credentials" do
140
+ within("#session") do
141
+ fill_in 'Login', :with => 'user@example.com'
142
+ fill_in 'Password', :with => 'caplin'
143
+ end
144
+ click_link 'Sign in'
145
+ end
146
+ end
147
+
148
+ This is, in fact, just a shortcut for making a request spec, where
149
+ <tt>feature</tt> is an alias for <tt>describe ..., :type => :request</tt>,
150
+ <tt>background</tt> is an alias for <tt>before</tt>, and <tt>scenario</tt>
151
+ is an alias for <tt>it</tt>/<tt>specify</tt>.
152
+
153
+ Note that Capybara's built in RSpec support only works with RSpec 2.0 or later.
154
+ You'll need to roll your own for earlier versions of RSpec.
155
+
156
+ == Using Capybara with Test::Unit
157
+
158
+ To use Capybara with Test::Unit, include the DSL (<tt>include Capybara</tt> up
159
+ until version 0.4.x, <tt>include Capybara::DSL</tt> for newer versions) in
160
+ whatever test class you are using. For example, if your classes derive from
161
+ <tt>ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest</tt>, use
162
+
163
+ class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
164
+ include Capybara::DSL
165
+ end
166
+
167
+ Test::Unit does not support selecting the driver through test metadata, but you
168
+ can switch the driver for specific classes using the <tt>setup</tt> and
169
+ <tt>teardown</tt> methods. See the section "Selecting the Driver".
170
+
171
+ == Using Capybara with Ruby on Rails
172
+
173
+ If you are using the Rails framework, add this line to automatically configure
174
+ Capybara to test against your Rails application:
175
+
176
+ require 'capybara/rails'
177
+
178
+ == Using Capybara with Rack
179
+
180
+ If you're using Capybara with a non-Rails Rack application, set
181
+ <tt>Capybara.app</tt> to your application class:
182
+
183
+ Capybara.app = MyRackApp
184
+
185
+ == Drivers
186
+
187
+ Capybara uses the same DSL to drive a variety of browser and headless drivers.
188
+
189
+ === Selecting the Driver
190
+
191
+ By default, Capybara uses the <tt>:rack_test</tt> driver, which is fast but does not
192
+ support JavaScript. You can set up a different default driver for your
193
+ features. For example if you'd prefer to run everything in Selenium, you could
194
+ do:
195
+
196
+ Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
197
+
198
+ However, if you are using RSpec or Cucumber, you may instead want to consider
199
+ leaving the faster <tt>:rack_test</tt> as the +default_driver+, and marking only those
200
+ tests that require a JavaScript-capable driver using <tt>:js => true</tt> or
201
+ <tt>@javascript</tt>, respectively. By default, JavaScript tests are run using the
202
+ <tt>:selenium</tt> driver. You can change this by setting
203
+ <tt>Capybara.javascript_driver</tt>.
204
+
205
+ You can also change the driver temporarily (typically in the Before/setup and
206
+ After/teardown blocks):
207
+
208
+ Capybara.current_driver = :culerity # temporarily select different driver
209
+ ... tests ...
210
+ Capybara.use_default_driver # switch back to default driver
211
+
212
+ Note that switching the driver creates a new session, so you may not be able to
213
+ switch in the middle of a test.
214
+
215
+ === RackTest
216
+
217
+ RackTest is Capybara's default driver. It is written in pure Ruby and does not
218
+ have any support for executing JavaScript. Since the RackTest driver works
219
+ directly agains the Rack interface, it does not need any server to be started,
220
+ it can work directly work against any Rack app. This means that if your
221
+ application is not a Rack application (Rails, Sinatra and most other Ruby
222
+ frameworks are Rack applications) then you cannot use this driver. You cannot
223
+ use the RackTest driver to test a remote application.
224
+ {capybara-mechanize}[https://github.com/jeroenvandijk/capybara-mechanize]
225
+ intends to provide a similar driver which works against remote servers, it is a
226
+ separate project.
227
+
228
+ RackTest can be configured with a set of headers like this:
229
+
230
+ Capybara.register_driver :rack_test do |app|
231
+ Capybara::RackTest::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome)
232
+ end
233
+
234
+ See the section on adding and configuring drivers.
235
+
236
+ === Selenium
237
+
238
+ At the moment, Capybara supports {Selenium 2.0
239
+ (Webdriver)}[http://seleniumhq.org/docs/01_introducing_selenium.html#selenium-2-aka-selenium-webdriver],
240
+ *not* Selenium RC. Provided Firefox is installed, everything is set up for you,
241
+ and you should be able to start using Selenium right away.
242
+
243
+ Capybara can block and wait for Ajax requests to finish after you've interacted
244
+ with the page. To enable this behaviour, set the <tt>:resynchronize</tt> driver
245
+ option to <tt>true</tt>. This should normally not be necessary, since
246
+ Capybara's automatic reloading should take care of any asynchronicity problems.
247
+ See the section on Asynchronous JavaScript for details.
248
+
249
+ Note: Selenium does not support transactional fixtures; see the section
250
+ "Transactional Fixtures" below.
251
+
252
+ === HtmlUnit
253
+
254
+ There are three different drivers, maintained as external gems, that you can
255
+ use to drive {HtmlUnit}[http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/]:
256
+
257
+ * {Akephalos}[https://github.com/bernerdschaefer/akephalos] might be the best
258
+ HtmlUnit driver right now.
259
+
260
+ * {Celerity}[https://github.com/sobrinho/capybara-celerity] only runs on JRuby,
261
+ so you'll need to install the celerity gem under JRuby: <tt>jruby -S gem
262
+ install celerity</tt>
263
+
264
+ * {Culerity}[https://github.com/sobrinho/capybara-culerity]: Install celerity
265
+ as noted above, and make sure that JRuby is in your path. Note that Culerity
266
+ does not seem to be working under Ruby 1.9 at the moment.
267
+
268
+ Note: HtmlUnit does not support transactional fixtures; see the section
269
+ "Transactional Fixtures" below.
270
+
271
+ === env.js
272
+
273
+ The {capybara-envjs driver}[http://github.com/smparkes/capybara-envjs]
274
+ uses the envjs gem ({GitHub}[http://github.com/smparkes/env-js],
275
+ {rubygems.org}[http://rubygems.org/gems/envjs]) to interpret
276
+ JavaScript outside the browser. The driver is installed by installing the capybara-envjs gem:
277
+
278
+ gem install capybara-envjs
279
+
280
+ More info about the driver and env.js are available through the links above. The envjs gem only supports
281
+ Ruby 1.8.7 at this time.
282
+
283
+ Note: Envjs does not support transactional fixtures; see the section
284
+ "Transactional Fixtures" below.
285
+
286
+ === Capybara-webkit
287
+
288
+ The {capybara-webkit drive}[https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit] is for true headless
289
+ testing. It uses WebKitQt to start a rendering engine process. It can execute JavaScript as well.
290
+ It is significantly faster than drivers like Selenium since it does not load an entire browser.
291
+
292
+ You can install it with:
293
+
294
+ gem install capybara-webkit
295
+
296
+ And you can use it by:
297
+
298
+ Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit
299
+
300
+
301
+ == The DSL
302
+
303
+ Capybara's DSL (domain-specific language) is inspired by Webrat. While
304
+ backwards compatibility is retained in a lot of cases, there are certain
305
+ important differences. Unlike in Webrat, all searches in Capybara are *case
306
+ sensitive*. This is because Capybara heavily uses XPath, which doesn't support
307
+ case insensitivity.
308
+
309
+ === Navigating
310
+
311
+ You can use the
312
+ <tt>{visit}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Session#visit-instance_method]</tt>
313
+ method to navigate to other pages:
314
+
315
+ visit('/projects')
316
+ visit(post_comments_path(post))
317
+
318
+ The visit method only takes a single parameter, the request method is *always*
319
+ GET.
320
+
321
+ You can get the {current
322
+ path}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Session#current_path-instance_method]
323
+ of the browsing session for test assertions:
324
+
325
+ current_path.should == post_comments_path(post)
326
+
327
+ === Clicking links and buttons
328
+
329
+ <em>Full reference: {Capybara::Node::Actions}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Node/Actions]</em>
330
+
331
+ You can interact with the webapp by following links and buttons. Capybara
332
+ automatically follows any redirects, and submits forms associated with buttons.
333
+
334
+ click_link('id-of-link')
335
+ click_link('Link Text')
336
+ click_button('Save')
337
+ click_on('Link Text') # clicks on either links or buttons
338
+ click_on('Button Value')
339
+
340
+ === Interacting with forms
341
+
342
+ <em>Full reference: {Capybara::Node::Actions}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Node/Actions]</em>
343
+
344
+ There are a number of tools for interacting with form elements:
345
+
346
+ fill_in('First Name', :with => 'John')
347
+ fill_in('Password', :with => 'Seekrit')
348
+ fill_in('Description', :with => 'Really Long Text...')
349
+ choose('A Radio Button')
350
+ check('A Checkbox')
351
+ uncheck('A Checkbox')
352
+ attach_file('Image', '/path/to/image.jpg')
353
+ select('Option', :from => 'Select Box')
354
+
355
+ === Querying
356
+
357
+ <em>Full reference: {Capybara::Node::Matchers}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Node/Matchers]</em>
358
+
359
+ Capybara has a rich set of options for querying the page for the existence of
360
+ certain elements, and working with and manipulating those elements.
361
+
362
+ page.has_selector?('table tr')
363
+ page.has_selector?(:xpath, '//table/tr')
364
+ page.has_no_selector?(:content)
365
+
366
+ page.has_xpath?('//table/tr')
367
+ page.has_css?('table tr.foo')
368
+ page.has_content?('foo')
369
+
370
+ You can use these with RSpec's magic matchers:
371
+
372
+ page.should have_selector('table tr')
373
+ page.should have_selector(:xpath, '//table/tr')
374
+ page.should have_no_selector(:content)
375
+
376
+ page.should have_xpath('//table/tr')
377
+ page.should have_css('table tr.foo')
378
+ page.should have_content('foo')
379
+ page.should have_no_content('foo')
380
+
381
+ Note that <tt>page.should have_no_xpath</tt> is preferred over
382
+ <tt>page.should_not have_xpath</tt>. Read the section on asynchronous JavaScript
383
+ for an explanation.
384
+
385
+ If all else fails, you can also use the
386
+ <tt>{page.html}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Session#html-instance_method]</tt>
387
+ method to test against the raw HTML:
388
+
389
+ page.html.should match /<span>.../i
390
+
391
+ === Finding
392
+
393
+ <em>Full reference: {Capybara::Node::Finders}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Node/Finders]</em>
394
+
395
+ You can also find specific elements, in order to manipulate them:
396
+
397
+ find_field('First Name').value
398
+ find_link('Hello').visible?
399
+ find_button('Send').click
400
+
401
+ find(:xpath, "//table/tr").click
402
+ find("#overlay").find("h1").click
403
+ all('a').each { |a| a[:href] }
404
+
405
+ Note that <tt>find</tt> will wait for an element to appear on the page, as explained in the
406
+ Ajax section. If the element does not appear it will raise an error.
407
+
408
+ These elements all have all the Capybara DSL methods available, so you can restrict them
409
+ to specific parts of the page:
410
+
411
+ find('#navigation').click_link('Home')
412
+ find('#navigation').should have_button('Sign out')
413
+
414
+ === Scoping
415
+
416
+ Capybara makes it possible to restrict certain actions, such as interacting with
417
+ forms or clicking links and buttons, to within a specific area of the page. For
418
+ this purpose you can use the generic
419
+ <tt>{within}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Session#within-instance_method]</tt>
420
+ method. Optionally you can specify which kind of selector to use.
421
+
422
+ within("li#employee") do
423
+ fill_in 'Name', :with => 'Jimmy'
424
+ end
425
+
426
+ within(:xpath, "//li[@id='employee']") do
427
+ fill_in 'Name', :with => 'Jimmy'
428
+ end
429
+
430
+ Note that <tt>within</tt> will scope the actions to the _first_ (not _any_)
431
+ element that matches the selector.
432
+
433
+ There are special methods for restricting the scope to a specific fieldset,
434
+ identified by either an id or the text of the fieldet's legend tag, and to a
435
+ specific table, identified by either id or text of the table's caption tag.
436
+
437
+ within_fieldset('Employee') do
438
+ fill_in 'Name', :with => 'Jimmy'
439
+ end
440
+
441
+ within_table('Employee') do
442
+ fill_in 'Name', :with => 'Jimmy'
443
+ end
444
+
445
+ === Scripting
446
+
447
+ In drivers which support it, you can easily execute JavaScript:
448
+
449
+ page.execute_script("$('body').empty()")
450
+
451
+ For simple expressions, you can return the result of the script. Note
452
+ that this may break with more complicated expressions:
453
+
454
+ result = page.evaluate_script('4 + 4');
455
+
456
+ === Debugging
457
+
458
+ It can be useful to take a snapshot of the page as it currently is and take a
459
+ look at it:
460
+
461
+ save_and_open_page
462
+
463
+ == Transactional fixtures
464
+
465
+ Transactional fixtures only work in the default Rack::Test driver, but not for
466
+ other drivers like Selenium. Cucumber takes care of this automatically, but
467
+ with Test::Unit or RSpec, you may have to use the
468
+ {database_cleaner}[https://github.com/bmabey/database_cleaner] gem. See {this
469
+ explanation}[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ruby-capybara/JI6JrirL9gM/R6YiXj4gi_UJ]
470
+ (and code for {solution
471
+ 2}[http://opinionated-programmer.com/2011/02/capybara-and-selenium-with-rspec-and-rails-3/#comment-220]
472
+ and {solution 3}[http://pastie.org/1745020]) for details.
473
+
474
+ == Asynchronous JavaScript (Ajax and friends)
475
+
476
+ When working with asynchronous JavaScript, you might come across situations
477
+ where you are attempting to interact with an element which is not yet present
478
+ on the page. Capybara automatically deals with this by waiting for elements
479
+ to appear on the page.
480
+
481
+ When issuing instructions to the DSL such as:
482
+
483
+ click_link('foo')
484
+ click_link('bar')
485
+ page.should have_content('baz')
486
+
487
+ If clicking on the *foo* link triggers an asynchronous process, such as
488
+ an Ajax request, which, when complete will add the *bar* link to the page,
489
+ clicking on the *bar* link would be expected to fail, since that link doesn't
490
+ exist yet. However Capybara is smart enought to retry finding the link for a
491
+ brief period of time before giving up and throwing an error. The same is true of
492
+ the next line, which looks for the content *baz* on the page; it will retry
493
+ looking for that content for a brief time. You can adjust how long this period
494
+ is (the default is 2 seconds):
495
+
496
+ Capybara.default_wait_time = 5
497
+
498
+ Be aware that because of this behaviour, the following two statements are *not*
499
+ equivalent, and you should *always* use the latter!
500
+
501
+ page.should_not have_xpath('a')
502
+ page.should have_no_xpath('a')
503
+
504
+ The former would incorrectly wait for the content to appear, since the
505
+ asynchronous process has not yet removed the element from the page, it would
506
+ therefore fail, even though the code might be working correctly. The latter
507
+ correctly waits for the element to disappear from the page.
508
+
509
+ Capybara's waiting behaviour is quite advanced, and can deal with situations
510
+ such as the following line of code:
511
+
512
+ find('#sidebar').find('h1').should have_content('Something')
513
+
514
+ Even if JavaScript causes <tt>#sidebar</tt> to disappear off the page, Capybara
515
+ will automatically reload it and any elements it contains. So if an AJAX
516
+ request causes the contents of <tt>#sidebar</tt> to change, which would update
517
+ the text of the <tt>h1</tt> to "Something", and this happened, this test would
518
+ pass. If you do not want this behaviour, you can set
519
+ <tt>Capybara.automatic_reload</tt> to <tt>false</tt>.
520
+
521
+ == Using the DSL in unsupported testing frameworks
522
+
523
+ You can mix the DSL into any context by including +Capybara::DSL+:
524
+
525
+
526
+ require 'capybara'
527
+ require 'capybara/dsl'
528
+
529
+ Capybara.default_driver = :culerity
530
+
531
+ module MyModule
532
+ include Capybara::DSL
533
+
534
+ def login!
535
+ within("//form[@id='session']") do
536
+ fill_in 'Login', :with => 'user@example.com'
537
+ fill_in 'Password', :with => 'password'
538
+ end
539
+ click_link 'Sign in'
540
+ end
541
+ end
542
+
543
+ == Calling remote servers
544
+
545
+ Normally Capybara expects to be testing an in-process Rack application, but you
546
+ can also use it to talk to a web server running anywhere on the internets, by
547
+ setting app_host:
548
+
549
+ Capybara.current_driver = :selenium
550
+ Capybara.app_host = 'http://www.google.com'
551
+ ...
552
+ visit('/')
553
+
554
+ Note that the default driver (<tt>:rack_test</tt>) does not support running
555
+ against a remote server. With drivers that support it, you can also visit any
556
+ URL directly:
557
+
558
+ visit('http://www.google.com')
559
+
560
+ By default Capybara will try to boot a rack application automatically. You
561
+ might want to switch off Capybara's rack server if you are running against a
562
+ remote application:
563
+
564
+ Capybara.run_server = false
565
+
566
+ == Using the sessions manually
567
+
568
+ For ultimate control, you can instantiate and use a
569
+ {Session}[http://rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Session]
570
+ manually.
571
+
572
+ require 'capybara'
573
+
574
+ session = Capybara::Session.new(:culerity, my_rack_app)
575
+ session.within("//form[@id='session']") do
576
+ session.fill_in 'Login', :with => 'user@example.com'
577
+ session.fill_in 'Password', :with => 'password'
578
+ end
579
+ session.click_link 'Sign in'
580
+
581
+ == XPath, CSS and selectors
582
+
583
+ Capybara does not try to guess what kind of selector you are going to give it,
584
+ and will always use CSS by default. If you want to use XPath, you'll need to
585
+ do:
586
+
587
+ within(:xpath, '//ul/li') { ... }
588
+ find(:xpath, '//ul/li').text
589
+ find(:xpath, '//li[contains(.//a[@href = "#"]/text(), "foo")]').value
590
+
591
+ Alternatively you can set the default selector to XPath:
592
+
593
+ Capybara.default_selector = :xpath
594
+ find('//ul/li').text
595
+
596
+ Capybara allows you to add custom selectors, which can be very useful if you
597
+ find yourself using the same kinds of selectors very often:
598
+
599
+ Capybara.add_selector(:id) do
600
+ xpath { |id| XPath.descendant[XPath.attr(:id) == id.to_s] }
601
+ end
602
+
603
+ Capybara.add_selector(:row) do
604
+ xpath { |num| ".//tbody/tr[#{num}]" }
605
+ end
606
+
607
+ The block given to xpath must always return an XPath expression as a String, or
608
+ an XPath expression generated through the XPath gem. You can now use these
609
+ selectors like this:
610
+
611
+ find(:id, 'post_123')
612
+ find(:row, 3)
613
+
614
+ You can specify an optional match option which will automatically use the
615
+ selector if it matches the argument:
616
+
617
+ Capybara.add_selector(:id) do
618
+ xpath { |id| XPath.descendant[XPath.attr(:id) == id.to_s] }
619
+ match { |value| value.is_a?(Symbol) }
620
+ end
621
+
622
+ Now use it like this:
623
+
624
+ find(:post_123)
625
+
626
+ This :id selector is already built into Capybara by default, so you don't
627
+ need to add it yourself.
628
+
629
+ == Beware the XPath // trap
630
+
631
+ In XPath the expression // means something very specific, and it might not be what
632
+ you think. Contrary to common belief, // means "anywhere in the document" not "anywhere
633
+ in the current context". As an example:
634
+
635
+ page.find(:xpath, '//body').all(:xpath, '//script')
636
+
637
+ You might expect this to find all script tags in the body, but actually, it finds all
638
+ script tags in the entire document, not only those in the body! What you're looking
639
+ for is the .// expression which means "any descendant of the current node":
640
+
641
+ page.find(:xpath, '//body').all(:xpath, './/script')
642
+
643
+ The same thing goes for within:
644
+
645
+ within(:xpath, '//body') do
646
+ page.find(:xpath, './/script')
647
+ within(:xpath, './/table/tbody') do
648
+ ...
649
+ end
650
+ end
651
+
652
+ == Configuring and adding drivers
653
+
654
+ Capybara makes it convenient to switch between different drivers. It also exposes
655
+ an API to tweak those drivers with whatever settings you want, or to add your own
656
+ drivers. This is how to switch the selenium driver to use chrome:
657
+
658
+ Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
659
+ Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome)
660
+ end
661
+
662
+ However, it's also possible to give this a different name, so tests can switch
663
+ between using different browsers effortlessly:
664
+
665
+ Capybara.register_driver :selenium_chrome do |app|
666
+ Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome)
667
+ end
668
+
669
+ Whatever is returned from the block should conform to the API described by
670
+ Capybara::Driver::Base, it does not however have to inherit from this class.
671
+ Gems can use this API to add their own drivers to Capybara.
672
+
673
+ The {Selenium wiki}[http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/RubyBindings] has
674
+ additional info about how the underlying driver can be configured.
675
+
676
+ == Gotchas:
677
+
678
+ * Access to session and request is not possible from the test, Access to
679
+ response is limited. Some drivers allow access to response headers and HTTP
680
+ status code, but this kind of functionality is not provided by some drivers,
681
+ such as Selenium.
682
+
683
+ * Access to Rails specific stuff (such as <tt>controller</tt>) is unavailable,
684
+ since we're not using Rails' integration testing.
685
+
686
+ * Freezing time: It's common practice to mock out the Time so that features
687
+ that depend on the current Date work as expected. This can be problematic,
688
+ since Capybara's Ajax timing uses the system time, resulting in Capybara
689
+ never timing out and just hanging when a failure occurs. It's still possible to
690
+ use plugins which allow you to travel in time, rather than freeze time.
691
+ One such plugin is {Timecop}[http://github.com/jtrupiano/timecop].
692
+
693
+ * When using Rack::Test, beware if attempting to visit absolute URLs. For
694
+ example, a session might not be shared between visits to <tt>posts_path</tt>
695
+ and <tt>posts_url</tt>. If testing an absolute URL in an Action Mailer email,
696
+ set <tt>default_url_options</tt> to match the Rails default of
697
+ <tt>www.example.com</tt>.
