Capybara-Jasmine

This gem uses Capybara to run Jasmine specs. Request a page once, run many JS specs. Works with RSpec and Jasmine AJAX.

Please see Capybara-Jasmine Demo to see how to integrate into an app.

##Why? Capybara is a powerful tool, but I find it very tedious and slow, especially for JS testing. This is mostly due to the fact that loading a page for each spec is very time consuming.

Being able to write Jasmine specs and run them with the RSpec suite is flexible and fast: write Capybara specs for simple things, but Jasmine is perfect for JS unit tests, on-page JS functionality and AJAX requests.

1. Add to your Gemfile:gem 'capybara-jasmine'
2. Add to the bottom of your spec helper: require './spec/jasmine/jasmine_helper'
3. Create a jasmine folder within spec folder.
4. Create a jasmine_helper.rb in the jasmine folder. See Capybara-Jasmine Demo App for inspiration.
5. Create a features folder and put an RSpec spec in it.
6. Create a js folder and put your JS specs in it.
7. Capybara-Jasmine is a Rack app that will call your app. Name your app "app" or allow it to respond to "app".

Each Jasmine spec file must be selected within the RSpec spec:

specify 'Index Page' do
  run_specs 'IndexPageSpec'
  visit '/'

In this example, we will load the index page run the JS specs IndexPageSpecs against it.

You can specify multiple Jasmine spec files on one Capybara visit:

run_specs 'IndexPageSpec, NavigationSpec'
visit '/'

Capybara-Jasmine uses with RSpec and WebKit.

JS helpers:

1. Fill in a form field. Takes a finder and a value: fillIn( '#emailField', 'joe@example.com' )

2. Click Submit: clickSubmit()

3. Click link or button. Takes a finder: Click('#logo');
