Capybara::BootstrapDatepicker

Helper for triggering date input with the bootstrap-datepicker JavaScript library.

This gem does something very simple: it allows you to trigger the Bootstrap date picker to select the date you want.

Supported versions

This gem has been tested with:

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capybara-bootstrap-datepicker', group: :test

Or, add it into your test group

group :test do
    gem 'capybara-bootstrap-datepicker'
    ...
end

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capybara-bootstrap-datepicker

The gem automatically hooks itself into RSpec helper using RSpec.configure.

Usage

Just use this method inside your Capybara test:

select_date(2.weeks.ago, from: "Label of the date input")

Or in a more advanced way:

select_date(2.weeks.ago, from: "Date", match: :prefer_exact)
select_date(Date.tomorrow, from: "Label of the date input", format: "%d/%m/%Y")
select_date("2013-05-24", xpath: "//path_to//your_date_input", datepicker: :bootstrap)

Available options are:

  • from: the label of your date input
  • xpath: the path to your date input
  • format: the format used to fill your date input
  • match:
  • datepicker: the way to fill your date input
    • :bootstrap = by clicking the popover using bootstrap-datepicker
    • :simple = just fill the input date
  • any extra args to find the input field

Test

Just run RSpec in your terminal:

$ rspec

Upgrading from 0.0.x

RSpec support has been split into a separate file. You'll need to change spec_helper.rb to require 'capybara-bootstrap-datepicker/rspec'.
