In a Rails application I'm trying to test a Bootstrap modal with a jQuery TokenInput field in Rspec using Capybara with the capybara-webkit
driver. The portion in question is as follows:
click_link 'Create Team Modal'
sleep 1
within('div#modal_popup') do
fill_in 'input#token-input-team_name', with: 'Fancy team name'
sleep 1
fill_in 'input#token-input-team_name', with: '\t'
sleep 1
click_button 'Create Team'
end
page.should have_content('Fancy team name')
- Click button to get modal
- Fill in TokenInput with a team name
- Simulate a Tab key-press to get it selected
- Create the team
- Verify the name shows up on the page
This will only work with all those sleep 1
s in place; otherwise Capybara crashes at have_content
, eventually resulting in a server error because the team name was never able to be selected properly. Other Bootstrap modals without a TokenInput field do not require a sleep 1
before they load, however.
With all that said, is there any way to get rid of the sleeps and have this proceed as normal? Capybara 2 took out wait_until
(with good reason) since it will wait within the default wait time to test for something...but that doesn't seem to be reflected in my above test; it's as if Capybara does not engage in that wait period upon entering/exiting this modal. Anyone have any experience with this? Using Rails 3.2.10, Rspec 2.12, Capybara 2, capybara-webkit 0.14.0, TokenInput 1.6.
Try disabling animations in test env, layouts/application.html.erb
<% if Rails.env.test? %>
<style type="text/css">
.modal.fade, .fade {
-webkit-transition: opacity 0.01s;
-moz-transition: opacity 0.01s;
-ms-transition: opacity 0.01s;
-o-transition: opacity 0.01s;
transition: opacity 0.01s;
}
</style>
<%end%>
I suggest to add falowing css in test env:
div, a, span, footer, header {
-webkit-transition: none !important;
-moz-transition: none !important;
-ms-transition: none !important;
-o-transition: none !important;
transition: none !important;
}
.modal {
display: none !important;
}
.modal.in {
display: block !important;
}
.modal-backdrop {
display: none !important;
}
Add this js in the and of body:
$(".fade").removeClass("fade");
That has solved most of my problems with capybara and bootstrap.
We just do this and it seems to work (for example to click on $('.tp-header-login'
):
# instead of find(".tp-header-login")
find(".tp-header-login") # still do the find so you are sure its loaded then...
execute_script "$('.tp-header-login').click()"
For those wishing to avoid Rails.env.___?
hacks*, the following seemed to work (so far -- fingers crossed) in avoiding problems with testing jQuery UI drag-and-drop functionality on a Bootstrap-based modal.
First, we were already "waiting" for the modal to appear, using a helper method like this:
def wait_for_modal_to_appear
modal = wait_until {
# Look for the modal by ID/whatever...
}
raise Capybara::ModalNotFound.new('...') if modal.nil?
return modal
end
Yet still, we were having spurious issues when trying to drag-and-drop elements in that modal. The following code addition, added just before the return
line, seems to have done the trick:
page.execute_script("document.getElementById('#{modal[:id]}').classList.remove('fade');")
* Just such a hack recently led to the need for an emergency deployment at a company I work with... A bad code-change managed to make it into production because it was only activated by a if Rails.env.production?
qualifier; it would have failed half of the test-suite otherwise.
