sw2at-capybara is a suite of helpers, which help to make test automation easier and faster, improve their maintenance and stability.
sw2at-capybara has steps like Cucumber does, but here it's not something mandatory, it's up to you. Why do we use steps? The answer is simple, it helps us to print a good console output what helps us to debug issues better, and it allows you to understand what's happening when you look at the console and browser window. On the other hand the steps can be written by someone who knows nothing about programming, it might be a QA or even customer (see an example below).
it 'should do its job' do
step 'Go somewhere' do
# pending
end
step 'Click some button' do
# pending
end
step 'Type some value' do
# pending
end
step 'Save the value' do
# pending
end
step 'Ensure that the result is saved' do
# pending
end
end
Add to your Gemfile
gem 'sw2at-capybara'
Run bundle install
bundle install
Add the following to your spec_helper.rb
require 'capybara'
require 'rspec/core/formatters/base_text_formatter'
config.formatter = RSpec::Core::Formatters::BaseTextFormatter # if you don't use any custom formatters.
Swat::Capybara.setup(config, { default_pause: 0.5,
min_pause: 0.3,
tries: 10,
default_selector: 'body',
output: { enabled: true, started: ?>, step: ?. }
})
So your spec_helper.rb might look like the following:
ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'test'
require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)
require 'pry'
require 'capybara'
RSpec.configure do |config|
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
config.include Capybara::DSL, type: :feature
Swat::Capybara.setup(config, {
tries: 10,
default_selector: 'body',
})
end
See a simple swat-capybara example here.
describe 'Google Search', type: :feature do
before :all do
@google_url = 'http://google.com'
@key_to_search_by = 'swat-capybara'
@results_we_should_see = ['sw2at/swat.gemspec at master', 'The Capybara Cave', 'https://github.com/tw4qa/sw2at']
end
it 'should show us a good search result' do
step 'Go to Google' do
visit @google_url
end
step 'Type key string' do
safe_find('#lst-ib').set(@key_to_search_by)
end
step 'Click Search button' do
safe_click('button[type="submit"]')
end
step 'Ensure that the page contains all those results' do
@results_we_should_see.each do |text|
sub_step "Check '#{text}' presence" do
check_text text
end
end
end
end
end
- Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
- Fork the project.
- Start a feature/bugfix branch.
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
