Question

Basically I just started to learn use Selenium on Rails 3, I started with the Selenium IDE and generated the script in RSpec format

Before I run this script I have installed gems for selenium-client, Selenium, selenium-rails and selenium-webdriver

But as I using rspec command to run this script, I got

C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:58:in `require': no such file to load -- spec (LoadError)
    from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:58:in `rescue in require'

I have tried to search for answer, the only case I found that is close to mine is Selenium Can't Find 'spec' Folder, which no one has answered it yet.

Can someone help me please, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

First I found Cucumber + Webrat + Selenium guide which is really useful

Second, I removed

require "selenium/rspec/spec_helper"
require "spec/test/unit"

And added

require 'spec_helper'

Where spec_helper is the contained in the spec folder

I also removed all the methods that is append_after

Basically now the test cases runnable, this is not the best solution, but it is what I did do so far.

P.S: need to download the Selenium server from http://seleniumhq.org/download/ and run the server with java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0b2.jar

spec_helper

# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'

# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

RSpec.configure do |config|
  # == Mock Framework
  #
  # If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:
  #
  # config.mock_with :mocha
  # config.mock_with :flexmock
  # config.mock_with :rr
  config.mock_with :rspec

  # Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord fixtures
  config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"

  # If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your
  # examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign false
  # instead of true.
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
end
