capybara-phantomjs is a Capybara driver for PhantomJS. The goal is to have a drive a real headless webkit-based browser.

NOTE: This gem does not yet pass all specs (5 out of 20 failures on driver spec, 194 of 415 failures on session spec). I need more things from PhantomJS (which is written in Qt and C++) than I know how like getting status code, HTTP headers and getting a handle on a specific element on a page (to fill out inputs and such).

Other things you’ll need:

  • Node.js to run the Socket.IO service and HTTP interface to PhantomJS

  • PhantomJS as of 8ed9dc1. This is an older revision but is needed for the now-temporarily-removed loadJS method. Build instructions are on the PhantomJS site. Copy the phantomjs binary from the app bundle it builds into your PATH.

See the Capybara docs. Use the symbol :phantomjs for the driver/default_driver as appropriate.

If you are using cucumber, you might add the following lines to your features/support/env.rb

require 'capybara/phantomjs'
Capybara.javascript_driver = :phantomjs
  • PhantomJS for providing a cross-platform headless webkit browser with a JS interface

  • Capybara for the amazing flexibility and test suite

  • capybara-zombie which was used as basis to create this gem

  • Socket.IO for providing a way to instruct PhantomJS from a Ruby process over a socket
