Standout Capybara

The purpose of this gem is to make it easier to setup Capybara drivers with sane defaults. It will default to headless_chrome, and if you use it with nanobox it will default to nanobox_chrome. But feel free to overwrite the environment variable CAPYBARA to use another capybara driver.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

# Gemfile
group :development, :test do
  gem "capybara"
  gem "standout-capybara", require: false
end

# test_helper.rb, spec_helper.rb or rails_helper.rb etc
require 'capybara/rails'
require 'standout/capybara/setup'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Headless chrome

Just run your test command, the headless_chrome is the default driver

Chrome

Run the test command with CAPYBARA=chrome.

Example:

$ CAPYBARA=chrome rake

Nanobox chrome

Add a local only component of standalone chrome to your boxfile.yml

data.chrome:
  image: selenium/standalone-chrome
  local_only: true

Now you can run the test as usual.

Example:

$ nanobox run rake

Options

Options that you can override using environment variables.

Environment variable Description
CAPYBARA Override the driver
CAPYBARA_WAIT_TIME Override default wait time of capybara

Available drivers

Override the driver using the environment variable CAPYBARA.

Example:

CAPYBARA=[driver name] test-command
Driver name Description
chrome Regular chrome driver that will use a visual browser window.
headless_chrome Headless chrome driver. The default driver.
nanobox_chrome Default driver when inside Nanobox.
remote_chrome Default driver when ENV['HUB_URL'] is defined.
