I'm trying to use selenium for the first time in a rails 3 app. (I've used it before with rails 2). I'm in an rvm which of course has its own gemset.

I first ran a task with capybara, without selenium:

#./spec/requests/homepage_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

describe 'home page', :type => :request do

  it 'should welcome the user' do

    visit '/'

    page.should have_content('Buddy')

  end

end

This ran fine. I then added a ":js => true" option to the options for describe, which is supposed to make it run using selenium (as far as i know). And got this error:

 Failure/Error: @page.start_new_browser_session

 WebMock::NetConnectNotAllowedError:

   Real HTTP connections are disabled. Unregistered request: POST http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/ with body 'cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=%2Afirefox&2=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000&3=&4=' with headers {'Accept'=>'*/*', 'Content-Type'=>'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8', 'User-Agent'=>'Ruby'}

   You can stub this request with the following snippet:

   stub_request(:post, "http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/").

     with(:body => "cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=%2Afirefox&2=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000&3=&4=", 

          :headers => {'Accept'=>'*/*', 'Content-Type'=>'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8', 'User-Agent'=>'Ruby'}).

     to_return(:status => 200, :body => "", :headers => {})

   ============================================================

It's my first time using capybara and i think my config is just wrong somehow. Maybe missing some essential gems? I was following this blog post: Capybara (and Selenium) with RSpec & Rails 3: quick tutorial

Any ideas?

PS, here's my Gemfile contents:

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.7'

gem "heroku_backup_task"

gem 'bcrypt-ruby'

  gem 'rspec'

  gem 'mocha'

  gem "rspec-rails", "~> 2.4"

Use this code:

WebMock.disable_net_connect!(:allow_localhost => true)

which allows real web access to your localhost. It's appropriate when you need to use Selenium for your application and, at the same time, mock external resources.

Hope this helps!
