Instance Method Details

#request_with_rails_support_that_fixes_crappy_json(verb, url, headers, payload, redirects = 0) ⇒ Object

This is what we SHOULD get

"{\"desiredCapabilities\":{\"javascriptEnabled\":false,\"version\":\"\",\"browserName\":\"htmlunit\",\"platform\":\"ANY\"}}"

But this is what we get instead

"{\"desiredCapabilities\":{\"browser_name\":\"htmlunit\",\"javascript_enabled\":false,\"version\":\"\",\"platform\":\"any\"}}"

To get this fixed immediately, we simply rewrite the payload to camelcase key names and upcase the platform.

We’ll find a better way to do this later and submit a patch to selenium. It’s ActiveSupport’s #to_json that is killing us!
