capybara-restore_state

capybara-restore_state offers the ability to execute a block where the initial capybara state on entering the block is returned after the block is executed. This makes it possible to test things like clicking on the same button twice.

This only works for the rack-test driver, other drivers can use the back buttons provided by the browser.

Installation

gem install capybara-restore_state
