Rails3: how can I visit the subdomain in the steak specification (rspec) using Capybara

Question

I want to access user1.application.local.dev/panel/new from the steak spec.

How can I do it?

Answer 1

Step 1. Configure the local DNS.

Step 2. Use the Capybara driver, which supports subdomains.

Selenium or Akefalos will do the trick.

Create spec / support / custom_env and put this content in it:

#Capybara.default_driver = :selenium Capybara.default_driver = :akephalos Capybara.app_host = 'http://davinci.testing.dev:8082' Capybara.run_server = false Capybara.server_port = 8082 

Select the capybara driver you want, either Selenium, or akpehalos, or anything except rack verification (default)

Of course, indicate your domain and port.

Step 3:

Add config.before block to your spec / spec_helper.rb

RSpec.configure do | config |
config.before: everyone does Capybara.app_host = " http://davinci.testing.dev:8082 " end
end

Of course, indicate your domain and port.

Step 4:

Add a helper to switch subdomains.

Spec / reception / support / helpers.rb

 def switch_to_subdomain(subdomain) Capybara.app_host = "http://#{subdomain}.davinci.testing.dev:8082" end 

Of course, indicate your domain and port.

Step 5. Use the helper method in your specification.

Now every time you want to change the subdomain that you do:

 scenario "Show school" do school = School.make!(:name=>"perico") switch_to_subdomain(school.name) visit("/") page.has_content?("Welcome to perico") end 

Answer 2

This is a question of Capybara. Set default_host when you need it

 Capybara.default_host = 'sub.domain.com'
