capybara-webkit
===============
**Development has been suspended** on this project because QtWebKit was
deprecated in favor of QtWebEngine, which is not a suitable replacement for our
purposes.
We instead recommend using the [Selenium] or [Apparition] drivers.

Qt Dependency and Installation Issues
-------------------------------------
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. You can find instructions for downloading and installing Qt on
the
[capybara-webkit wiki](https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit).
capybara-webkit requires Qt version 4.8 or greater.
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, try out the [headless gem](https://github.com/leonid-shevtsov/headless), or use the xvfb-run utility as follows:
```
xvfb-run -a bundle exec rspec
```
This automatically sets up a virtual X server on a free server number.
Usage
-----
Add the capybara-webkit gem to your Gemfile:
```ruby
gem "capybara-webkit"
```
Set your Capybara Javascript driver to webkit:
```ruby
Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit
```
In cucumber, tag scenarios with @javascript to run them using a headless WebKit browser.
In RSpec, use the `:js => true` flag. See the [capybara documentation](http://rubydoc.info/gems/capybara#Using_Capybara_with_RSpec) for more information about using capybara with RSpec.
Take note of the transactional fixtures section of the [capybara README](https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/blob/master/README.md).
If you're using capybara-webkit with Sinatra, don't forget to set
```ruby
Capybara.app = MySinatraApp.new
```
Configuration
-------------
You can configure global options using `Capybara::Webkit.configure`:
``` ruby
Capybara::Webkit.configure do |config|
# Enable debug mode. Prints a log of everything the driver is doing.
config.debug = true
# By default, requests to outside domains (anything besides localhost) will
# result in a warning. Several methods allow you to change this behavior.
# Silently return an empty 200 response for any requests to unknown URLs.
config.block_unknown_urls
# Allow pages to make requests to any URL without issuing a warning.
config.allow_unknown_urls
# Allow a specific domain without issuing a warning.
config.allow_url("example.com")
# Allow a specific URL and path without issuing a warning.
config.allow_url("example.com/some/path")
# Wildcards are allowed in URL expressions.
config.allow_url("*.example.com")
# Silently return an empty 200 response for any requests to the given URL.
config.block_url("example.com")
# Timeout if requests take longer than 5 seconds
config.timeout = 5
# Don't raise errors when SSL certificates can't be validated
config.ignore_ssl_errors
# Don't load images
config.skip_image_loading
# Use a proxy
config.use_proxy(
host: "example.com",
port: 1234,
user: "proxy",
pass: "secret"
)
# Raise JavaScript errors as exceptions
config.raise_javascript_errors = true
end
```
These options will take effect for all future sessions and only need to be set
once. It's recommended that you configure these in your `spec_helper.rb` or
`test_helper.rb` rather than a `before` or `setup` block.
Offline Application Cache
-------------------------
The offline application cache needs a directory to write to for the cached files. Capybara-webkit
will look at if the working directory has a tmp directory and when it exists offline application
cache will be enabled.
Non-Standard Driver Methods
---------------------------
capybara-webkit supports a few methods that are not part of the standard capybara API. You can access these by calling `driver` on the capybara session. When using the DSL, that will look like `page.driver.method_name`.
**console_messages**: returns an array of messages printed using console.log
```js
// In Javascript:
console.log("hello")
```
```ruby
# In Ruby:
page.driver.console_messages
=> [{:source=>"http://example.com", :line_number=>1, :message=>"hello"}]
```
**error_messages**: returns an array of Javascript errors that occurred
```ruby
page.driver.error_messages
=> [{:source=>"http://example.com", :line_number=>1, :message=>"SyntaxError: Parse error"}]
```
**cookies**: allows read-only access of cookies for the current session
```ruby
page.driver.cookies["alpha"]
=> "abc"
```
**header**: set the given HTTP header for subsequent requests
```ruby
page.driver.header 'Referer', 'https://www.thoughtbot.com'
```
