  • 0

I am currently using the guard-cucumber gem so it is running cucumber tests constantly in the background while I am developing in Ruby on Rails. Some of those tests are cucumber tests that open up a browser to run selenium tests. Is it possible to have these tests done closed but still with selenium?

rails 3.0.3
guard 1.0.2
guard-cucumber 0.7.5

Thanks!

    I don’t think that is possible with the Selenium driver. From their README:

    At the moment, Capybara supports Selenium 2.0 (Webdriver), not
    Selenium RC. Provided Firefox is installed, everything is set up
    for you, and you should be able to start using Selenium right away.

    You should really try capybara-webkit (https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit):

    The capybara-webkit driver is for true headless testing. It uses
    QtWebKit to start a rendering engine process. It can execute
    JavaScript as well. It is significantly faster than drivers like
    Selenium since it does not load an entire browser.

    It’s all running in the terminal which is super awesome.
