poltergeist

Some days ago I’ve got task to test our offline application with cucumber scenarios.

It was very difficult to do it because in our project we are using capybara-webkit and unfortunately it doesn’t support html5 a lot of features in this webkit server implementation. After digging into forks of capybara-webkit I found one fork with html5 support features via custom ‘set_attribute’ for browser:

page.driver.browser.set_attribute("LocalStorageEnabled", true)

I’ve made merge with master of capybara-webkit in my own fork and then we’ve started to use this fork. But then I found another problem connecting with routing through the application using backbone routers concept with ‘#’ in the routes.

It looks like:

http://localhost/#/posts
http://localhost/#/posts/new

When I tried to visit this links webkit_server was always hanging without throwing messages by timeout. It makes me upset and I’ve decided to replace capybara-webkit driver at all.

I am trying to use poltergeist
