Debug with RSpec

[Evette]

I am able to debug my rspec test file through RubyMine and I can use the step through debugger which has been super helpful.

But is there a way to debug through the web server whilst RSpec tests are running?

We are using the following:

rails (4.2.11, 4.2.7)

puma (3.12.1, 3.12.0)

ruby 2.3.3p222

Sure, so I am using RubyMine to be able to do testing. The tests that I am trying to run are using capybara and javascript.

Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome)
end
#Capybara.configure { |config| config.default_host = 'localhost:3000' }
Capybara.javascript_driver = :chrome

So my test is failing to login, but I believe the issue is relating to another gem we are using.

We want to debug the Webserver that capybara is using whilst running Rspec if that makes sense, to see what data it has?

To use the debugger in the web server you need one that runs in the same process as your RSpec instance, I think Rails 5/6 offers this through their system testing setup but I’m not sure.

You could instead test more of your components in isolation :)

Are you testing a Rails app with RSpec/Capybara?  You should be able to just put a byebug or binding.pry statement (depending on which you're using) right in your app's source.  For example in a controller action or a method in a model.

When you refresh the page or hit an api endpoint, etc.. you should jump straight into a REPL from the terminal you ran the specs from.

It should just work, I do this daily
