Swinger

Swinger is not being maintained anymore. Capybara can do RSpec driver swapping out of the box now. :)

Swinger is a really simple Capybara extension that aims to make driver switching in RSpec a bit less horrible to look at. Using the new metadata feature in RSpec 2, you can simply set your :driver per scenario or context:

it 'should give a nice greeting', :driver => :selenium do
  visit homepage
  page.should have_content 'Welcome'
end

context 'when logged in', :driver => :rack_test do

  it 'should get a nice greeting' do
    visit homepage
    page.should have_content 'Welcome back'
  end

  it 'should show the logout link' do
    visit homepage
    page.should have_content 'Logout'
  end

end

It also adds the using_driver method to Capybara, allowing you to execute a block using a specific driver. This is especially useful when you’re (still) not on RSpec 2 and can’t use the new metadata feature:

it 'should give a nice greeting' do
  Capybara.using_driver :selenium do
    visit homepage
    page.should have_content 'Welcome'
  end
end

Installation

Installing Swinger is easy. Simply add it to your Gemfile and require it in spec_helper.rb (or acceptance_helper.rb if you’re using Steak).
