Capybara::Animate

Take a peak at your headless browser acceptance tests. Capybara::Animate captures screenshots after Capybara driven user actions in order to compose an animation of your scenario.

Installation

Capybara::Animate depends on ImageMagick, on OS X installation is simple: brew install imagemagick

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capybara-animate', group: :test

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capybara-animate

Usage

Capybara::Animate automatically hooks in to Cucumber Scenarios tagged with @javascript. It depends on a driver that implements #save_screenshot

Credit

This is entirely based off of the work of Shimpei Makimoto's RubyConf 2013 Lightning Talk. Simply: my contributions are to make it a gem that plugs into Cucumber scenarios automatically.

Contributing
