Shadow DOM support for Capybara

The capybara-shadowdom gem adds basic support for the Shadow DOM to Capybara.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capybara-shadowdom'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capybara-shadowdom

Usage

Require it in spec_helper.rb:

require 'capybara/shadowdom'

Given the custom element:

<awesome-element>
  <!-- #shadow-root start -->
  <span>Hello shadow world!</span>

  <input type="text" id="user_name">
  <!-- #shadow-root end -->
</awesome-element>

You will be able to do:

within custom_element.shadow_root do
  # Displays "Hello shadow world!":
  puts page.text

  # Asserts the text within the element:
  assert_text "Hello shadow world!"

  # Input elements within the shadow DOM will also be accessible:
  fill_in "#user_name", with: "awesome@example.org"
end

Works also for RSpec:

expect(page).to have_text("Hello shadow world!")
