Ruby-on-rails – Sleep function in Capybara/Cucumber

capybaracucumberrubyruby-on-rails

I have a page on my site that I'm trying to test that requires that a user spend at least five seconds on the page before proceeding. Is there a way with Capybara to get my Cucumber tests to pause on that page and wait five seconds before proceeding with the next step I describe?

Best Answer

I have this in my step definitions:

Given /^I wait for (\d+) seconds?$/ do |n|
  sleep(n.to_i)
end

In your feature:

Given I am on the whatever page
And I wait for 5 seconds
And I follow "A Link"
# etc...

Selenium – Cucumber and Capybara, clicking a non-link or button element

You can click on an element via Capybara::Element.click. I add the following for this in my web_steps.rb to click on divs.

When /^(?:|I )click within "([^"]*)"$/ do |selector|
  find(selector).click
end

There is also Element.trigger('mouseover') which appears to enable hover albeit not working with Selenium.

It is also very likely you will need to decorate your feature/scenario with Capybara's provided @javascript tag.

Ruby-on-rails – Cookies within a cucumber test using capybara

Here's a step that works for me. It sets a cookie "admin_cta_choice" to be equal to a model id derived from the input value.

Given /I have selected CTA "([^"]+)"/ do |cta_name|
  cta = Cta.find_by_name(cta_name)
  raise "no cta with name '#{cta_name}'" if cta.nil?

  k = "admin_cta_choice"
  v = cta.id

  case Capybara.current_session.driver
  when Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver
    page.driver.set_cookie(k,v)
  when Capybara::RackTest::Driver
    headers = {}
    Rack::Utils.set_cookie_header!(headers,k,v)
    cookie_string = headers['Set-Cookie']
    Capybara.current_session.driver.browser.set_cookie(cookie_string)
  when Capybara::Selenium::Driver
    page.driver.browser.manage.add_cookie(:name=>k, :value=>v)
  else
    raise "no cookie-setter implemented for driver #{Capybara.current_session.driver.class.name}"
  end
end
