Can I use Capybara for frameworks outside of Rails (PHP)?

Question

I would like to test my php web application (specifically Magento) with Capybara. I used Capybara with success when I used rails before, so I want to reproduce the success. Does anyone know if this is possible or maybe Capybara for php?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. You must specify the URL where your server serves the pages you want to check. For example, if you use rspec, just do it in spec_helper.rb. In addition, you need to specify another driver that does not want to run the application (which is not), for example selenium:

Capybara.app_host = 'http://www.site-to-test.com' # where your site lives
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium # use selenium to control the external browsers

The base Gemfilewill look like this:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem "rspec", '~> 3.0'
gem "capybara"
gem "selenium-webdriver", '~> 2.45'
