Mocking a web request like webmock.

[majioa]

How can I mock requests to the external web-sites similar to it is done in webmock?

I saw the access to external resources is allowing/denying by call to the proper method in the config like:

Capybara::Webkit.configure do |config|
    config.allow_url("www.sandbox.paypal.com")
end

I wish to use something like:

Capybara::Webkit.configure do |config|
    config.mock_url("www.sandbox.paypal.com").with(PaypalFake)
end

where PaypalFake is the fake sinatra app. Is it there something like this in capybara-webkit?

You'll need to use something like Puffing Billy to intercept the request and proxy it to a fake. Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit_billy will set that all up for you, or you can manually set the proxy for capybara-webkit to point to puffing-billy.

@mhoran how to set proxy from webkit to puffing-billy?

[mhoran]

Capybara::Webkit.configure do |config|
  # Use a proxy
  config.use_proxy(
    host: Billy.proxy.host
    port: Billy.proxy.port
  )
end

You may also want to set other options as documented here: https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit#configuration.
