capybara-webkit
A capybara driver that uses WebKit via QtWebKit.
Dependent on Qt
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 install the gem.
OS X Lion 10.7:
Install Qt via homebrew(can take more than an hour) using:
brew install qt --build-from-source
OS X < 10.7:
Download the non-debug Cocoa package.
Ubuntu:
apt-get install libqt4-dev
Fedora:
yum install qt-webkit-devel
Gentoo Linux:
emerge x11-libs/qt-webkit
Other Linux distributions:
CI
If you're like us, you'll be using capybara-webkit on CI.
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.
Usage
Add the capybara-webkit gem to your Gemfile:
gem "capybara-webkit"
Set your Capybara Javascript driver to webkit:
Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit
Tag scenarios with @javascript to run them using a headless WebKit browser.
