|
== Description
|
|
|
|
Webrat lets you quickly write expressive and robust acceptance tests for a Ruby
|
|
web application.
|
|
|
|
== Features
|
|
|
|
* Browser Simulator for expressive, high level acceptance testing without the
|
|
performance hit and browser dependency of Selenium or Watir (See Webrat::Session)
|
|
* Use the same API for Browser Simulator and real Selenium tests using
|
|
Webrat::Selenium when necessary (eg. for testing AJAX interactions)
|
|
* Supports multiple Ruby web frameworks: Rails, Merb and Sinatra
|
|
* Supports popular test frameworks: RSpec, Cucumber, Test::Unit and Shoulda
|
|
* Webrat::Matchers API for verifying rendered HTML using CSS, XPath, etc.
|
|
|
|
== Example
|
|
|
|
class SignupTest < ActionController::IntegrationTest
|
|
|
|
def test_trial_account_sign_up
|
|
visit home_path
|
|
click_link "Sign up"
|
|
fill_in "Email", :with => "good@example.com"
|
|
select "Free account"
|
|
click_button "Register"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
Behind the scenes, Webrat will ensure:
|
|
|
|
* If a link, form field or button is missing, the test will fail.
|
|
* If a URL is invalid, the test will fail.
|
|
* If a page load or form submission is unsuccessful, the test will fail.
|
|
|
|
== Installing Nokogiri
|
|
|
|
Users of Debian Linux (e.g. Ubuntu) need to run:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise the Nokogiri gem, which Webrat depends on, won't install properly.
|
|
|
|
== Install for Rails
|
|
|
|
To install the latest release as a gem:
|
|
|
|
sudo gem install webrat
|
|
|
|
To install the latest code as a plugin: (_Note:_ This may be less stable than using a released version)
|
|
|
|
script/plugin install git://github.com/brynary/webrat.git
|
|
|
|
In your test_helper.rb or env.rb (for Cucumber) add:
|
|
|
|
require "webrat"
|
|
|
|
Webrat.configure do |config|
|
|
config.mode = :rails
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
== Install with Merb
|
|
|
|
Merb 1.0 has built-in, seamless Webrat support. Just start using
|
|
methods from Webrat::Session in your specs.
