HTML(html) click to toggle source

Parse raw html into a document using Nokogiri, and adjust textarea contents as defined by the spec.

@param [String] html The raw html @return [Nokogiri::HTML::Document] HTML document

# File lib/capybara.rb, line 389
def HTML(html) # rubocop:disable Naming/MethodName
  # Nokogiri >= 1.12.0 or Nokogumbo installed and allowed for use
  html_parser, using_html5 = if defined?(Nokogiri::HTML5) && Capybara.use_html5_parsing
    [Nokogiri::HTML5, true]
  else
    [defined?(Nokogiri::HTML4) ? Nokogiri::HTML4 : Nokogiri::HTML, false]
  end

  html_parser.parse(html).tap do |document|
    document.xpath('//template').each do |template|
      # template elements content is not part of the document
      template.inner_html = ''
    end
    document.xpath('//textarea').each do |textarea|
      # The Nokogiri HTML5 parser already returns spec compliant contents
      textarea['_capybara_raw_value'] = using_html5 ? textarea.content : textarea.content.delete_prefix("\n")
    end
  end
end
add_selector(name, **options, &block) click to toggle source

Add a new selector to Capybara. Selectors can be used by various methods in Capybara to find certain elements on the page in a more convenient way. For example adding a selector to find certain table rows might look like this:

Capybara.add_selector(:row) do
  xpath { |num| ".//tbody/tr[#{num}]" }
end

This makes it possible to use this selector in a variety of ways:

find(:row, 3)
page.find('table#myTable').find(:row, 3).text
page.find('table#myTable').has_selector?(:row, 3)
within(:row, 3) { expect(page).to have_content('$100.000') }

Here is another example:

Capybara.add_selector(:id) do
  xpath { |id| XPath.descendant[XPath.attr(:id) == id.to_s] }
end

Note that this particular selector already ships with Capybara.

@param [Symbol] name The name of the selector to add @yield A block executed in the context of the new {Capybara::Selector}

# File lib/capybara.rb, line 182
def add_selector(name, **options, &block)
  Capybara::Selector.add(name, **options, &block)
end
configure() { |config| ... } click to toggle source

Configure Capybara to suit your needs.

Capybara.configure do |config|
  config.run_server = false
  config.app_host   = 'http://www.google.com'
end

#### Configurable options

  • use_html5_parsing (Boolean = `false`) - When Nokogiri >= 1.12.0 or `nokogumbo` is installed, whether HTML5 parsing will be used for HTML strings.

  • always_include_port (Boolean = `false`) - Whether the Rack server's port should automatically be inserted into every visited URL unless another port is explicitly specified.

  • app_host (String, `nil`) - The default host to use when giving a relative URL to visit, must be a valid URL e.g. `www.example.com`.

  • asset_host (String = `nil`) - Where dynamic assets are hosted - will be prepended to relative asset locations if present.

  • automatic_label_click (Boolean = `false`) - Whether {Capybara::Node::Element#choose Element#choose}, {Capybara::Node::Element#check Element#check}, {Capybara::Node::Element#uncheck Element#uncheck} will attempt to click the associated `<label>` element if the checkbox/radio button are non-visible.

  • automatic_reload (Boolean = `true`) - Whether to automatically reload elements as Capybara is waiting.

  • default_max_wait_time (Numeric = `2`) - The maximum number of seconds to wait for asynchronous processes to finish.

  • default_normalize_ws (Boolean = `false`) - Whether text predicates and matchers use normalize whitespace behavior.

  • default_retry_interval (Numeric = `0.01`) - The number of seconds to delay the next check in asynchronous processes.

  • default_selector (`:css`, `:xpath` = `:css`) - Methods which take a selector use the given type by default. See also {Capybara::Selector}.

  • default_set_options (Hash = `{}`) - The default options passed to {Capybara::Node::Element#set Element#set}.

  • enable_aria_label (Boolean = `false`) - Whether fields, links, and buttons will match against `aria-label` attribute.

  • enable_aria_role (Boolean = `false`) - Selectors will check for relevant aria role (currently only `button`).

  • exact (Boolean = `false`) - Whether locators are matched exactly or with substrings. Only affects selector conditions written using the `XPath#is` method.

  • exact_text (Boolean = `false`) - Whether the text matchers and `:text` filter match exactly or on substrings.

  • ignore_hidden_elements (Boolean = `true`) - Whether to ignore hidden elements on the page.

  • match (`:one`, `:first`, `:prefer_exact`, `:smart` = `:smart`) - The matching strategy to find nodes.

  • predicates_wait (Boolean = `true`) - Whether Capybara's predicate matchers use waiting behavior by default.

  • raise_server_errors (Boolean = `true`) - Should errors raised in the server be raised in the tests?

  • reuse_server (Boolean = `true`) - Whether to reuse the server thread between multiple sessions using the same app object.

  • run_server (Boolean = `true`) - Whether to start a Rack server for the given Rack app.

  • save_path (String = `Dir.pwd`) - Where to put pages saved through {Capybara::Session#save_page save_page}, {Capybara::Session#save_screenshot save_screenshot}, {Capybara::Session#save_and_open_page save_and_open_page}, or {Capybara::Session#save_and_open_screenshot save_and_open_screenshot}.

  • server (Symbol = `:default` (which uses puma)) - The name of the registered server to use when running the app under test.

  • server_port (Integer) - The port Capybara will run the application server on, if not specified a random port will be used.

  • server_host (String = “127.0.0.1”) - The IP address Capybara will bind the application server to. If the test application is to be accessed from an external host, you will want to change this to “0.0.0.0” or to a more specific IP address that your test client can reach.

  • server_errors (Array<Class> = `[Exception]`) - Error classes that should be raised in the tests if they are raised in the server and {configure raise_server_errors} is `true`.

  • test_id (Symbol, String, `nil` = `nil`) - Optional attribute to match locator against with built-in selectors along with id.

  • threadsafe (Boolean = `false`) - Whether sessions can be configured individually.

  • w3c_click_offset (Boolean = 'true') - Whether click offsets should be from element center (true) or top left (false)

Wraps the given string, which should contain an HTML document or fragment in a {Capybara::Node::Simple} which exposes all {Capybara::Node::Matchers}, {Capybara::Node::Finders} and {Capybara::Node::DocumentMatchers}. This allows you to query any string containing HTML in the exact same way you would query the current document in a Capybara session.

@example A single element

node = Capybara.string('<a href="foo">bar</a>')
anchor = node.first('a')
anchor[:href] #=> 'foo'
anchor.text #=> 'bar'

@example Multiple elements

node = Capybara.string <<-HTML
  <ul>
    <li id="home">Home</li>
    <li id="projects">Projects</li>
  </ul>
HTML

node.find('#projects').text # => 'Projects'
node.has_selector?('li#home', text: 'Home')
node.has_selector?('#projects')
node.find('ul').find('li:first-child').text # => 'Home'
