I am attempting to use pageobjects along with with my Capybara specs but can't seem to properly reference the driver. Basically I want to be able to use the PageObjects to define the fields on the page (this is login_page.rb
), but when I try to create the object in the spec, it is throwing errors with saying that the object is nil.
spec_helper.rb:
# frozen-string-literal: true
require 'rspec'
require 'capybara/rspec'
require 'capybara/dsl'
require 'selenium-webdriver'
require 'page-object'
# loading page object files
page_paths = File.join(Dir.pwd, 'spec', 'pages', '**', '*.rb')
puts 'foo'
Dir.glob(page_paths).each { |file| puts file}
Dir.glob(page_paths).each { |file| require file }
Capybara.register_driver :firefox do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :firefox)
end
Capybara.default_driver = :firefox
Capybara.app_host = *********** #redacted
Capybara.default_max_wait_time = 5
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.before(:all) do
@browser = Capybara::Selenium::Driver
end
config.before(:each) do
config.include Capybara::DSL
end
end
login_page.rb
class LoginPage
include Capybara::DSL
include PageObject
text_field(:username, id: 'username')
text_field(:password, id: 'password')
button(:login, id: 'loginButton')
def initialize(driver)
@driver = driver
end
end
login_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe 'On Login page' do
context 'using proper password' do
before(:each) do
visit('/')
end
it 'logs in as foo' do
login_page = LoginPage.new(@browser)
login_page.username = 'foo'
login_page.password = 'bar'
login_page.login
end
end
end
Assuming you're talking about the page-object
gem - https://github.com/cheezy/page-object - it doesn't support Capybara, it supports watir-webdriver/watir and selenium-webdriver. Additionally Capybara::Selenium::Driver
is a class not an object instance. As shown in the page-object
readme you need to pass an object instance into your page objects constructor
@browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
If you want a page object framework that supports Capybara you may want to look at something like site-prism
instead.
