Solution
This worked. The main essence is that I have to set the Capybara.server_port
and Capybara.app_host
and sign in manually in the sign in form. Capybara.app_host
cannot be set with a dynamic subdomain unless its declared in a variable. All urls has to be hard coded.
require 'spec_helper'
feature 'customer' do
let(:user) {FactoryGirl.create(:user)}
let(:firm) {user.firm}
let(:customers) {"http://#{firm.subdomain}.lvh.me:31234/customers"}
let(:root_url) {"http://#{firm.subdomain}.lvh.me:31234/"}
before(:all) do
Capybara.server_port = 31234
sub = firm.subdomain
Capybara.app_host = root_url
end
def sign_in_on_js
visit root_url
fill_in "Email", :with => user.email
fill_in "Password", :with => "password"
click_button "Sign in"
page.should have_content("Signed in successfully.")
end
scenario "make new", js: true do
sign_in_on_js
visit customers
page.should have_content("Add new customer")
find("#dialog_customer").click
page.should have_content("Create new customer")
end
end
Original question I am making a multitenant app in rails. There is going to be a lot of javascript. But, I cant get the testing to work.
When not running :js = true
every thing works. The problem arises in specs like this one
let(:customers) {"http://#{firm.subdomain}.lvh.me:3003/customers"}
scenario "Statistics select", :js => true do
visit customers
page.should have_content("Add new customer")
end
The poltergeist web driver for capybara cannot find the url and returns a blank page
Failure/Error: page.should have_content("Add new customer")
expected there to be text "Add new customer" in ""
I have this in my spec_helper.rb
require 'capybara/rspec'
require 'capybara/poltergeist'
Capybara.javascript_driver = :poltergeist
Capybara.register_driver :poltergeist do |app|
Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver.new(app, :debug => true)
end
Poltergeist and phantomjs try to deliver. I get this output
{"name"=>"set_debug", "args"=>[true]}
{"response"=>true}
{"name"=>"visit", "args"=>["http://subdomain2.lvh.me:3003/statistics"]}
poltergeist [1362522132943] state default -> loading
{"response"=>{"status"=>"fail"}}
Do I need to have a server running during testing to make this work?
I've tried selenium and capybara-webkit, but phantomjs has gotten closest to success.
I have also tried to change the hosts file in different ways( maybe not correct )
Any tips on setup are welcome!
Update
Starting to get desperate. I now start the rails server
rails s -e test -p 3001
and then run my tests.
Now I get redirected to the sign in page. I have this in the specs
before(:each) do
login_as(user, :scope => :user)
end
How can I sign in the test user on the rails test server without going trough the sign in process manually for every spec
Capybara already starts a server for you, to quote the docs:
Some Capybara drivers need to run against an actual HTTP server. Capybara takes care of this and starts one for you in the same process as your test, but on another thread. Selenium is one of those drivers, whereas RackTest is not.
Within your test you can use the visit
method with a relative url, for example:
visit("/statistics")
Capybara will direct this request to the server it just started for this test.
When your want to use an absolute url within your test, you can, but you should also specify the port the server is running on. This port is being randomly chosen during the test. Some drivers have a method available to retrieve the port number.
For example when you use the Capybara-Webkit driver:
Capybara.current_session.driver.server_port
To visit
an absolute url you can then use:
port_number = Capybara.current_session.driver.server_port
visit("http://127.0.0.1:#{port_number}/statistics")
Within the test specs probably a method login_as
won't work. You have to log in with a few simple steps. For example:
before(:each) do
visit "/login"
fill_in "Email", :with => "[email protected]"
fill_in "Password", :with => "secret"
click_button "Login"
end
To test multiple subdomains you can set the Capybara.app_host
. Take a look at this question for a detailed explanation.
UPDATE
Capybara 2 includes a nice feature called always_include_port
which will automatically add the port number the server is running on.
Capybara.always_include_port = true
So instead of
visit("http://127.0.0.1:#{port_number}/statistics")
you can now use
visit("/statistics")
and it will automatically connect to http://127.0.0.1:#{port_number}/statistics
.
If you want to test multiple subdomains with Capybara.app_host
, you could use a domain name which always resolves to 127.0.0.1 for example lvh.me
.
For example, if you specify Capybara.app_host = "http://example.lvh.me"
it will run the tests using the example
subdomain.
