# master ### Changed * `require 'capybara/rails'` will automatically enable `:respect_data_method` on the RackTest driver, so the behavior matches Capybara 1.1.2 [Jo Liss] * Dropped official support for Ruby 1.8.x. [Jonas Nicklas] * All methods which find or manipulate fields or buttons now ignore them when they are disabled. [Jonas Nicklas] * Can no longer find elements by id via `find(:foo)`, use `find("#foo")` or `find_by_id("foo")` instead. [Jonas Nicklas] ### Fixed * `has_text` (`has_content`) now accepts non-string arguments, like numbers. [Jo Liss] * `has_text` and `text` now correctly normalize Unicode whitespace, such as ` `. [Jo Liss] * RackTest allows protocol relative URLs [Jonas Nicklas] * Arguments are cast to string where necessary, so that e.g. `click_link(:foo)` works as expected. [Jonas Nicklas] # Version 2.0.0.beta2 ### Changed * `respect_data_method` default to `false` for the RackTest driver, which means that Capybara no longer picks up `:method => :post` et. al. from links in Rails by default. [Jonas Nicklas] * `find` now raises an error if more than one element was found. Since `find` is used by most actions, like `click_link` under the surface, this means that all actions need to unambiguous in the future. [Jonas Nicklas] * `Element#text` on RackTest now only returns visible text and normalizes (strips) whitespace, as with Selenium [Mark Dodwell, Jo Liss] * `has_content?` now checks the text value returned by `Element#text`, as opposed to querying the DOM. Which means it does not match hidden text. [Ryan Montgomery, Mark Dodwell, Jo Liss] * #394: `#body` now returns the unmodified source (like `#source`), not the current state of the DOM (like `#html`), by popular request [Jonas Nicklas] * `Node#all` no longer returns an array, but rather an enumerable `Capybara::Result` [Jonas Nicklas] * The arguments to `select` and `unselect` needs to be the exact text of an option in a select box, substrings are no longer allowed [Jonas Nicklas] * The `options` option to `has_select?` must match the exact set of options. Use `with_options` for the old behaviour. [Gonzalo Rodriguez] * The `selected` option to `has_select?` must match all selected options for multiple selects. [Gonzalo Rodriguez] * Various internals for running driver specs, this should only affect driver authors [Jonas Nicklas] ### Removed * No longer possible to specify `failure_message` for custom selectors. [Jonas Nicklas] * #589: `Capybara.server_boot_timeout` has been removed in favor of a higher (60-second) hard-coded timeout [Jo Liss] * `Capybara.prefer_visible_elements` has been removed, as it is no longer needed with the changed find semantics [Jonas Nicklas] * `Node#wait_until` and `Session#wait_until` have been removed. See `Node#synchronize` for an alternative [Jonas Nicklas] * `Capybara.timeout` has been removed [Jonas Nicklas] * The `:resynchronize` option has been removed from the Selenium driver [Jonas Nicklas] * The `rows` option to `has_table?` has been removed without replacement. [Jonas Nicklas] ### Fixed * Nodes found via `all` are no longer reloaded. This fixes weird quirks where nodes would seemingly randomly replace themselves with other nodes [Jonas Nicklas] * Session is only reset if it has been modified, dramatically improves performance if only part of the test suite runs Capybara. [Jonas Nicklas] * Test suite now passes on Ruby 1.8 [Jo Liss] * #565: `require 'capybara/dsl'` is no longer necessary [Jo Liss] * `Rack::Test` now respects ports when changing hosts [Jo Liss] * #603: `Rack::Test` now preserves the original referer URL when following a redirect [Rob van Dijk] * Rack::Test now does not send a referer when calling `visit` multiple times [Jo Liss] * Exceptions during server boot now propagate to main thread [James Tucker] * RSpec integration now cleans up before the test instead of after [Darwin] * If `respect_data_method` is true, the data-method attribute can be capitalized [Marco Antonio] * Rack app boot timing out raises an error as opposed to just logging to STDOUT [Adrian Irving-Beer] * `#source` returns an empty string instead of nil if no pages have been visited [Jonas Nicklas] * Ignore first leading newline in textareas in RackTest [Vitalii Khustochka] * `within_frame` returns the value of the given block [Alistair Hutchison] * Running `Node.set` on text fields will not trigger more than one change event [Andrew Kasper] * Throw an error when an option is given to a finder method, like `all` or `has_selector?` which Capybara doesn't understand [Jonas Nicklas] * Two references to the node now register as equal when comparing them with `==` [Jonas Nicklas] ### Added * Much improved error message [Jonas Nicklas] * Errors from inside the session for apps running in a server are raised when session is reset [James Tucker, Jonas Nicklas] * A ton of new selectors built in out of the box, like `field`, `link`, `button`, etc... [Adam McCrea, Jonas Nicklas] * `has_text?` has been added as an alias for `has_content?` [Jonas Nicklas] * Add `Capybara.server_host` option (default: 127.0.0.1) [David Balatero] * Add `:type` option for `page.has_field?` [Gonzalo Rodríguez] * Custom matchers can now be specified in CSS in addition to XPath [Jonas Nicklas] * `Node#synchronize` method to rerun a block of code if certain errors are raised [Jonas Nicklas] * `Capybara.always_include_port` config option always includes the server port in URLs when using `visit`. Facilitates testing different domain names`. [Douwe Maan] * Redirect limit for RackTest driver is configurable [Josh Lane] * Server port can be manually specified during initialization of server. [Jonas Nicklas, John Wilger] * `has_content?` and `has_text?` can be given a regular expression [Vasiliy Ermolovich] # Version 1.1.2 Release date: 2011-11-15 ### Fixed * #541: Make attach_file work with selenium-webdriver >=2.12 [Jonas Nicklas] # Version 1.1.0 Release date: 2011-09-02 ### Fixed * Sensible inspect for Capybara::Session [Jo Liss] * Fix headers and host on redirect [Matt Colyer, Jonas Nicklas, Kim Burgestrand] * using_driver now restores the old driver instead of reverting to the default [Carol Nichols] * Errors when following links relative to the root path under rack-test [Jonas Nicklas, Kim Burgestrand] * Make sure exit codes are propagated properly [Edgar Beigarts] ### Changed * resynchronization is off by default under Selenium ### Added * Elements are automatically reloaded (including parents) during wait [Jonas Nicklas] * Rescue driver specific element errors, such as the dreaded ObsoleteElementError and retry [Jonas Nicklas] * Raise an error if something has frozen time [Jonas Nicklas] * Allow within to take a node instead of a selector [Peter Williams] * Using wait_time_time to change wait time for a block of code [Jonas Nicklas, Kim Burgestrand] * Option for rack-test driver to disable data-method hack [Jonas Nicklas, Kim Burgestrand] # Version 1.0.1 Release date: 2011-08-12 ### Fixed * Dependend on selenium-webdriver ~>2.0 and fix deprecations [Thomas Walpole, Jo Liss] * Depend on Launch 2.0 [Jeremy Hinegardner] * Rack-Test ignores fill in on fields with maxlength="" # Version 1.0.0 Release date: 2011-06-14 ### Added * Added DSL for acceptance tests, inspired by Luismi Cavallé's Steak [Luismi Cavalle and Jonas Nicklas] * Selenium driver automatically waits for AJAX requests to finish [mgiambalvo, Nicklas Ramhöj and Jonas Nicklas] * Support for switching between multiple named sessions [Tristan Dunn] * failure_message can be specified for Selectors [Jonas Nicklas] * RSpec matchers [David Chelimsky and Jonas Nicklas] * Added save_page to save tempfile without opening in browser [Jeff Kreeftmeijer] * Cucumber now switches automatically to a registered driver if the tag matches the name [Jonas Nicklas] * Added Session#text [Jonas Nicklas and Scott Cytacki] * Added Session#html as an alias for Session#body [Jo Liss] * Added Session#current_host method [Jonas Nicklas] * Buttons can now be clicked by title [Javier Martin] * :headers option for RackTest driver to set custom HTTP headers [Jonas Nicklas] ### Removed * Culerity and Celerity drivers have been removed and split into separate gems [Gabriel Sobrinho] ### Deprecated * `include Capybara` has been deprecated in favour of `include Capybara::DSL` [Jonas Nicklas] ### Changed * Rack test driver class has been renamed from Capybara::Driver::RackTest to Capybara::RackTest::Driver [Jonas Nicklas] * Selenium driver class has been renamed from Capybara::Driver::Selenium to Capybara::Selenium::Driver [Jonas Nicklas] * Capybara now prefers visible elements over hidden elements, disable by setting Capybara.prefer_visible_elements = false [Jonas Nicklas and Nicklas Ramhöj] * For RSpec, :type => :request is now supported (and preferred over :acceptance) [Jo Liss] * Selenium driver tried to wait for AJAX requests to finish before proceeding [Jonas Nicklas and Nicklas Ramhöj] * Session no longer uses method missing, uses explicit delegates instead [Jonas Nicklas] ### Fixed * The Rack::Test driver now respects maxlength on text fields [Guilherme Carvalho] * Allow for more than one save_and_open_page call per second [Jo Liss] * Automatically convert options to :count, :minimum, :maximum, etc. to integers [Keith Marcum] * Rack::Test driver honours maxlength on input fields [Guilherme Carvalho] * Rack::Test now works as expected with domains and subdomains [Jonas Nicklas] * Session is reset more thoroughly between tests.
