Running Tests: Configuring RSpec
Learn to configure RSpec for tests that rely on JavaScript.
We'll cover the following...
Configuring RSpec system tests
We have created a new Capybara driver, but how do we configure RSpec to use it?
First, we have to edit spec/rails_helper.rb to require our new Capybara driver so
that it is loaded:
require 'rspec/rails'# Add additional requires below this line. Rails is not loaded until this...require_relative './support/capybara.rb'
Often apps will auto-require all .rb files inside the spec/support directory. If that is the case for your app, this require could be omitted.
Making it work for non-JavaScript system tests
OK, what next? Recall that earlier, we used RSpec’s configuration hooks to set rack_test as the default driver for our system tests. We now need to make it so that non-JavaScript system tests continue to use that, whereas JavaScript tests (indicated with the js: true tag in the test definition) should use our new Selenium Chrome Capybara driver.
We can achieve this by adding the following lines to ...
