capybara-webkit depends on a WebKit implementation from Qt, a cross-platform
development toolkit. You'll need to download the Qt libraries to build and
2011-09-14 21:14:03 +00:00
install the gem. You can find instructions for downloading and installing QT on
the [capybara-webkit wiki ](https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-QT )

Reporting Issues
----------------
Without access to your application code we can't easily debug most crashes or
2011-10-06 22:56:20 +00:00
generic failures, so we've included a debug version of the driver that prints a
2011-10-01 17:03:07 +00:00
log of what happened during each test. Before filing a crash bug, please see
[Reporting Crashes ](https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Reporting-Crashes ).
You're much more likely to get a fix if you follow those instructions.

On Linux platforms, capybara-webkit requires an X server to run, although it doesn't create any visible windows. Xvfb works fine for this. You can setup Xvfb yourself and set a DISPLAY variable, or try out the [headless gem ](https://github.com/leonid-shevtsov/headless ).
