![]() ![]() ![]() The tests are found in the file test/echo_test.rb: require 'test_helper' When you click the button it sends a POST with whatever text you entered in the text input, it then renders that back at you with again one text input and one button allowing you to repeat this process as many times as you want.Īs I said at the introduction of this article the application itself is not particularly interesting as its only reason for existence is to demonstrate automated browser testing. You will of course also need a local copy of the example application (called Echo) which you can get from GitHub here.Įcho offers an HTML page with one text input and one button. If you are using a Linux distro you can likely install geckodriver and/or chromedriver through your system’s package manager (in Ubuntu you can install both using sudo apt install firefox-geckodriver chromium-chromedriver) rather than having to download them from the pages linked in the previous sentence. ![]() To follow along with this entire article you will need to have Vagrant, Firefox, geckodriver, Chome (or Chormium) and chromedriver installed. Once upon a time I wrote a blog post about using Capybara with Selenium and Vagrant (which you can still find on the previous incarnation of my blog here) … things have changed a bit since then however: it got easier to run headless browser tests for example (no longer requiring an Xvfb setup) and nowadays Rails even ships with Capybara by default for its systems tests taking away a lot of the complexity of setting it up for developers using the framework.Ĭapybara with Selenium is still an amazingly good combination for automated testing of web applications in a real browser, so in this article I will revisit running automated browser tests with it on a Vagrant box with the same perhaps somewhat unimaginative little Sinatara application as I did back in 2012. ![]()
