It’s correct for v1.14.0 - unfortunately 1.14 isn’t marked as compatible with the latest capybara so you’re getting a really old capybara-WebKit. Tell your gemfile to use the latest capybara-webkit (and a slightly old capybara)
That is helpful, @twalpole, thanks. We seem to be in a bit of purgatory with this versioning....is there a writeup I can review to better understand where we currently are and what the roadmap looks like?
@jtrupiano Not that I know of -- it appears capybara-webkit isn't really being worked on currently - There are a few open PRs that would bring it full compatibility with Capybara 2.14.x but they haven't been looked at/merged for quite some time. At this point it would be best if the maintainers just opened up the compatibility to 2.x (imho)
Is there a different stack you'd recommend? I had been using poltergeist, but I also ran into a variety of upgrade issues there. That's what led me to poke around again here with capybara-webkit.
@jtrupiano You'll get the most up to date compatibility with web technologies using Chrome with selenium, which can be run in headless mode. It will be slower though.
I appreciate the advice, thanks. Is that a stack I can run on both Ubuntu and OSX?
@jtrupiano Yes -- you'll need the selenium-webdriver gem in your project and chromedriver in your PATH. Then you can specify Capybara.javascript_driver = :selenium_chrome
when using the latest Capybara (or :selenium_chrome_headless if that's what you want), or register your own driver configuration. Note you won't have the poltergeist/capybara-webkit extensions (blacklist/whitelist, etc)
@twalpole, thanks a lot. Where's a good place to get q's about the selenium-webdriver setup in ruby answered? These projects used to have google groups and forums and such, I'm not sure what the kids are using these days. Maybe an IRC channel?
@jtrupiano Recently, with the changes that have been going on in selenium, I’ve found it easiest to just read the selenium source.
Immediately after requiring capybara/webkit I have a block of code exactly as in the README. I get the following NoMethoderror. Is the README correct?
I'm on Ruby 2.4.1, capybara 2.15.4, capybara-webkit 1.1.0.
Thanks.
