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')

When threadsafe is true the sessions options will be initially set to the current values of the global options and a configuration block can be passed to the session initializer. For available options see Capybara::SessionConfig::OPTIONS:

session = Capybara::Session.new(:driver, MyRackApp) do |config|
  config.app_host = "http://my_host.dev"
end

The Session provides a number of methods for controlling the navigation of the page, such as , , and so on. It also delegates a number of methods to a 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.

#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

#save_page(path = nil) ⇒ String

Save a snapshot of the page. If asset_host is set it will inject base tag pointing to asset_host.

Parameters:

  • path (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the path to where it should be saved

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the path to which the file was saved

#save_screenshot(path = nil, **options) ⇒ String

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

Switch to the given window.

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.

#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 app_host will make the remote server the default. For example:

Capybara.app_host = 'http://google.com'
session.visit('/') # visits the google homepage

If 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 http://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.

Returns the window that has been opened within a block.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash)

Options Hash (**options):

Returns:

Raises:

  • (Capybara::WindowError) —

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

#within(*find_args) ⇒ Object #within(a_node) ⇒ Object Also known as: within_element

Executes the given block within the context of a node. 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 , 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 default_selector.

within('div#delivery-address') do
  fill_in('Street', with: '12 Main Street')
end

Note that a lot of uses of 

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

Overloads:

  • #within(*find_args) ⇒ Object

    Parameters:

    • kind (Symbol) —

      Optional selector type (:css, :xpath, :field, etc.). Defaults to default_selector.

    • locator (String) —

      The locator for the specified selector

    • options (Hash) —

      a customizable set of options
