capybara-firebug provides a dead-simple way to run scenarios with Firebug enabled under the selenium driver.
- Install the gem
require 'capybara/firebug'
in env.rb- Tag a scenario with
@firebug
- Run it
Firebug will be set up so that all features are fully enabled on every page.
You'll want to be able to pause the scenario at some point to inspect things
in Firebug. A step definition for Then stop and let me debug
is provided
for this purpose. When executed, it breaks in the Ruby debugger.
If you wish to further customize the Firefox profile used by selenium, you
can use the #enable_firebug
method to add the Firebug extension to it:
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.enable_firebug
This can also be used to enable Firebug on a remote browser:
Capybara::Driver::Selenium.new(app,
:browser => :remote,
:url => "http://my.ip.add.ress:4444/wd/hub",
:desired_capabilities => Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox(:firefox_profile => profile))
