Overview
The Session class represents a single user's interaction with the system. The Session can use any of the underlying drivers. A session can be initialized manually like this:
session = Capybara::Session.new(:culerity, MyRackApp)
The application given as the second argument is optional. When running Capybara against an external page, you might want to leave it out:
session = Capybara::Session.new(:culerity)
session.visit('http://www.google.com')
Session provides a number of methods for controlling the navigation of the page, such as visit, +current_path, and so on. It also delegate a number of methods to a Capybara::Document, representing the current HTML document. This allows interaction:
session.fill_in('q', :with => 'Capybara')
session.('Search')
session.should have_content('Capybara')
When using capybara/dsl, the Session is initialized automatically for you.

- (Object) evaluate_script(script)
Evaluate the given JavaScript and return the result. Be careful when using this with scripts that return complex objects, such as jQuery statements. execute_script might be a better alternative.

- (Object) execute_script(script)

- (Object) visit(url)
Navigate to the given URL. The URL can either be a relative URL or an absolute URL The behaviour of either depends on the driver.
session.visit('/foo')
session.visit('http://google.com')
For drivers which can run against an external application, such as culerity and selenium giving an absolute URL will navigate to that page. This allows testing applications running on remote servers. For these drivers, setting Capybara.app_host will make the remote server the default. For example:
Capybara.app_host = 'http://google.com'
session.visit('/') # visits the google homepage
155 156 157 |
# File 'lib/capybara/session.rb', line 155 def visit(url) driver.visit(url) end |
- (Object) within(*find_args) - (Object) within(a_node)
Execute the given block for a particular scope on the page. Within will find the first element matching the given selector and execute the block scoped to that element:
within(:xpath, '//div[@id="delivery-address"]') do
fill_in('Street', :with => '12 Main Street')
end
It is possible to omit the first parameter, in that case, the selector is assumed to be of the type set in Capybara.default_selector.
within('div#delivery-address') do
fill_in('Street', :with => '12 Main Street')
end
