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.click_button('Search')
expect(session).to have_content('Capybara')

When using capybara/dsl, the Session is initialized automatically for you.

#evaluate_script(script) ⇒ Object

126
 
# File 'lib/capybara/session.rb', line 122

def raise_server_error!
  raise @server.error if Capybara.raise_server_errors and @server and @server.error
ensure
  @server.reset_error! if @server
end

#reset! ⇒ Object Also known as: cleanup!, reset_session!

Reset the session (i.e. remove cookies and navigate to blank page)

This method does not:

* accept modal dialogs if they are present (Selenium driver now does, others may not)
* clear browser cache/HTML 5 local storage/IndexedDB/Web SQL database/etc.
* modify state of the driver/underlying browser in any other way

as doing so will result in performance downsides and it’s not needed to do everything from the list above for most apps.

If you want to do anything from the list above on a general basis you can:

* write RSpec/Cucumber/etc. after hook
* monkeypatch this method
* use Ruby's `prepend` method

and file will be given randomly generated filename. If invoked with a relative path
the path will be relative to `Capybara.save_path`, which is different from

Returns window that has been switched to.

Overloads:

  • #switch_to_window(&block) ⇒ Capybara::Window

    Switches to the first window for which given block returns a value other than false or nil. If window that matches block can’t be found, the window will be switched back and ‘WindowError` will be raised.

    Examples:

#visit(visit_uri) ⇒ Object

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 the selenium driver 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

If Capybara.always_include_port is set to true and this session is running against a rack application, then the port that the rack application is running on will automatically be inserted into the URL. Supposing the app is running on port ‘4567`, doing something like:

visit("http://google.com/test")

Will actually navigate to ‘google.com:4567/test`.

Parameters:

  • visit_uri (#to_s) —

    The URL to navigate to. The parameter will be cast to a String.

#window_opened_by(options = {}, &block) ⇒ Capybara::Window

Get the window that has been opened by the passed block. It will wait for it to be opened (in the same way as other Capybara methods wait). It’s better to use this method than ‘windows.last` as order of windows isn’t defined in some drivers

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (options):

  • :wait (Numeric) — default: Capybara.default_max_wait_time —

    maximum wait time

Returns:

Raises:

  • (Capybara::WindowError) —

    if block passed to window hasn’t opened window or opened more than one window

    end
    Window.new(self, opened_handles.first)
  end
end

#windows ⇒ Array<Capybara::Window>

Get all opened windows. The order of windows in returned array is not defined. The driver may sort windows by their creation time but it’s not required.

Returns:

#within(*find_args) ⇒ Object #within(a_node) ⇒ Object

Executes the given block within the context of a node. ‘within` takes the same options as `find`, as well as a block. For the duration of the block, any command to Capybara will be handled as though it were scoped to the given element.

within(:xpath, '//div[@id="delivery-address"]') do
  fill_in('Street', :with => '12 Main Street')
end

Just as with ‘find`, if multiple elements match the selector given to `within`, an error will be raised, and just as with `find`, this behaviour can be controlled through the `:match` and `:exact` options.

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

Note that a lot of uses of ‘within` can be replaced more succinctly with chaining:

find('div#delivery-address').fill_in('Street', :with => '12 Main Street')

Overloads:

  • #within(a_node) ⇒ Object

#within_fieldset(locator) ⇒ Object

#within_frame(index) ⇒ Object #within_frame(name) ⇒ Object

Execute the given block within the given iframe using given frame name or index. May be supported by not all drivers. Drivers that support it, may provide additional options.

Overloads:

  • #within_frame(index) ⇒ Object

    Parameters:

    • index (Integer) —

      index of a frame

  • #within_frame(name) ⇒ Object

    Parameters:

    • name (String) —

#within_window(window) ⇒ Object #within_window(proc_or_lambda) ⇒ Object #within_window(string) ⇒ Object

This method does the following:

  1. Switches to the given window (it can be located by window instance/lambda/string).

  2. Executes the given block (within window located at previous step).

  3. Switches back (this step will be invoked even if exception will happen at second step)

Overloads:

  • #within_window(window) ⇒ Object

    Parameters:

    • window (Capybara::Window) —

      instance of ‘Capybara::Window` class that will be switched to

    Raises:

    • (driver#no_such_window_error) —

      if unexistent (e.g. closed) window was passed

  • #within_window(proc_or_lambda) ⇒ Object

    Examples:

    within_window(->{ page.title == 'Page title' }) { click_button 'Submit' }

    Parameters:

    • lambda (Proc) —

      lambda. First window for which lambda returns a value other than false or nil will be switched to.

    Raises:

  • #within_window(string) ⇒ Object
    Deprecated.

    Pass window or lambda instead

    Parameters:

    • handle, (String) —

      name, url or title of the window

Returns:

  • value returned by the block

Raises:

  • (Capybara::ScopeError) —

    if this method is invoked inside ‘within`, `within_frame` or `within_window` methods
