Capybara-webkit and Qt5 on Yosemite

Question

Latest Capybara-webkit throws a deprecation warning:

WARNING: The next major version of capybara-webkit will require at least version 5.0 of Qt. You're using version 4.8.7.

So I:

gem uninstall capybara-webkit
brew uninstall qt
brew install qt5
gem install capybara-webkit

That deprecation is now gone but all hell broke loose:

.[DEPRECATION] Capybara::Webkit::Driver#browser is deprecated.

tried re-installing qt but there were linking conflicts with Qt5's qmake so I removed it.

Anyone have any ideas?!? Or should I just go back to plain old Qt4 and deal with deprecation warnings?

Answer 1

@pthamm pretty much nailed it. Here's the same thing, but with a couple of the surrounding steps.

brew uninstall qt
brew install qt5
brew link --force qt5

Now running

which qmake

Should return /usr/local/bin/qmake

At this point I can rebuild the gem against the new qt5.

gem pristine capybara-webkit

And then I was good to go again, tests are green. Yay!

Answer 2

Did you run these commands:

brew linkapps qt5
brew link --force qt5

Homebrew's qt5 is keg-only so you need to create the symlinks manually.
